Fortnite
Fortnite writes Unreal Engine runtime logs and crash-report artifacts under FortniteGame\Saved while it compiles shaders, loads assets, initializes Easy Anti-Cheat, connects to backend services, and records match events. Those files include rotating .log and backup log files, minidumps, diagnostics text, and CrashReportClient data created after freezes or crashes; Kudu removes only these disposable logs and crash reports, not your installs, settings, account data, or replays.
Why clean Fortnite?
- Hundreds of Unreal Engine session logs accumulate across patches and matches, consuming space in LocalAppData and showing up as unexpectedly large Fortnite folders in disk usage tools
- CrashReportClient minidumps and diagnostics from repeated startup crashes can pile up after one bad update, leaving gigabytes of old reports even after the game starts working again
- Verbose logging from connection retries, anti-cheat initialization, or failed content loads creates oversized .log files, which users notice as Fortnite writing data constantly during troubled launches
- Old crash folders make it harder to find the newest dump when troubleshooting a fresh freeze, because the Saved\Crashes directory fills with similarly named historical reports
- After a period of instability, leftover logs preserve every failed launch and matchmaking error, so cleaning removes stale diagnostics without touching cosmetics, keybinds, or Epic account sign-in
- Repeated Unreal Engine warnings and stack traces from resolved issues remain on disk indefinitely, causing clutter that can confuse support investigations when users attach the wrong old report
