I came across a huge file under /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.samsung.oh/files/debug.log

it was 11.5 GB and had a current timestamp. I truncated it a day ago, but it has already grown to 806 MB and has a very recent timestamp.

I inspected the head and tail of the file.
The head is from 10 days ago, and shows I-level messages from PowerUsageHelper, and W-level from ProxyBase, mentioning applications that I don't even think I have installed. The tail is within minutes of current time, and shows mostly I-level from PowerUsageHelper; a couple of D-level from AppBatteryConsumption; and even one "I BatteryChangedReceiver Battery changed broadcast received" even though my phone does not have a removable battery.

On a samsung forum, somebody suggested that it was caused by settings of Developer options. I searched that and found one set under Screen Reader set to VERBOSE. I reset it to NONE, but that has not helped.

My Developer mode was not set on. I just enabled it, and the USB Debug was not enabled at all.

Any other suggestions?
 
Long-press the power button. See if you have a "Bug Report" item. If you do, make sure it's turned off.
 
I posted the question on a Samsung community forum. A member there suggested that it was a repository for the "Samsung Members App", and I could uninstall it. This absolutely solved it. When I uninstalled the Samsung Members App, the whole directory com.samsung.oh was deleted, along with the huge debug.log file.
I don't know how that Samsung Members App got installed. I do not recall requesting it, and I am unsure of its purpose, other than perhaps selling new Samsung phones.

Members app is to contact and make appointments with Samsung , also to enroll in beta testing .
