      Per my understaing, it comes from I think it comes from Support Core Plugin: The plugin provides the basic infrastructure for generating "bundles" of support information within Jenkins. There are three ways of generating bundles: Automatic bundles, these get saved in $JENKINS_HOME/support once per hour starting 3 minutes after Jenkins starts the plugin (i.e. this may still be generated even if Jenkins will not fully start). The automatic bundles are retained using an exponential aging strategy, so you should have a bunch of them over the entire lifetime once the plugin has been installed.

      how can I disable the Automatic bundles?
