It actually is pretty light depending on what it is inside.
My own image without Visual Studio and other stuff is already over 15 Gb.

Yeah, but would you want to download that every two months (and lose pretty much everything except Visual Studio)?

Looking at the rate how they are screwing things up lately... I think that would be an improvement. At least you don't have to repair things 
Anyways... I continue saying than an image of the system partition is one of the best ways to go

Yeah, VS crashed on me yesterday. Not the freeze, crash, error reporting dialog crash, but the Total Existence Failure crash. Was typing and it just...disappeared. I can't remember seeing that for years and years.

I still get that from time to time.
Not a whole lot, but maybe once or twice a year.
Not sure if that's (only) in Visual Studio though, but I think so because that's where I spend most of my time.

I found a new one today. Copy some resources from one DLL to another DLL. Works for 3 or 4 resources at a time. Try 10 or so and VS just vanishes.

I had no issues. I waited around 48 hours after 16.8.0 was released. Now on 16.8.2.
I only once had to reinstall my PC in the last 17 years because of Visual Studio (stopped working). Well, because of me, I uninstall something what messed up Visual Studio.
And that didn't bother me too much as I like to reinstall my PC every couple of years anyway..

I was doing a tiny clean up and when I went to C:\Users\My_User\AppData\Local\Temp there were over 4000 folders (mostly from VisualStudio) getting over 14 Gb space...
Just a CTRL+A and then Supr just deleted 99% of the folders.
At work I have 2019 and 2017 parallel and has not seen that behaviour yet. (Not sure if there is an auto delete mechanism in that folder though, my C:\Temp there is auto deleted when logging out)
Does VS does the same on your systems? 14 GB in temp files without having updated recently... I find a bit too much.

Nope. I have only 1500 files in the Temp (most of them seems to be from VS), but those sum in less then a half GB...
I have 2019/2017/2010/2008 side-by-side (however it is very rare that I use anything else but 2019)...

very interesting. I will have check my personal and work machines.

Way too many programs litter the temp folder. I have an old script that I wrote that deletes anything older than a month as well as all empty folders under temp.

I usually don't care because I restore from a clean image once or twice a year.
But this time it was a   surprise

I complained about this issue to MS Visual Studio Support
I was told that is how the Software Works just do not worry about it
translates to Buy a bigger hard drive we do not care what garbage we save on your computer
My view it is no longer my computer
I also can not turn off the constant nag to use Git and something is always running in the background after I log out of VS 2019 and shut down my Windows 7 64 bit machine

Thanks for that.
You know, I've just run through that TEMP folder on my machine and opened a sample of weirder ones IN Visual Studio just to see what's what ... and it occurs to me that prapps I should periodically go to this directory and zip up all these files and store them on Drive Z:\ so that later on, when I have time or accidentally experience a rush of adrenaline through my cerebral cortex (when I can't help myself from getting to them again), I'll see if I can't leverage some data storage paradigm in SQL, to do a permanent dump on a disk closer in the stack to my C:\ SSD.

Horrific? Perhaps . . . but think about the lounge clientele and the countless dietary perversion posted heretofore.
It won't be long before they crumble bacon into their coffee.
Cheese? Bacon? Scylla! Charybdis!
And they'll move on to tea, as well.
I've oft pointed out there's no cure for stupid. Neither, I'd wager, is there a cure for bad taste.
