I do not have SW2021 yet but SolidWorks creates many files when you start it up. What is the issue?

The issue is I have this extra file in my working directory and would like to know why it creates it and if it is deleted would it cause any issues in the future.

  Just how big is the file? Are you really cramped for space? If so, the simple solution is to add a larger SSD.

  Have you read the log?
  
  Based on its content, it is an informational message that you do not have a 3D Printer defined. It is generated by the SW Marketplace add-in.
  
  If you don't want the log file anymore, define a 3D printer, or disable the Marketplace add-in.
  
  I'm sure there will be no issues if you delete it.
