I have KVStore taking up drive space on a HF. Documentation warns about this and says KVStore can be disabled in the server.conf.
But there are no instructions on how to do this. please advise.

Hello

You just need to include this in server.conf,in your system local folder (for example):

[kvstore]
disabled = true
