    I have setup a test Oracle 11g server to try and learn how to configure it and use it etc.

    After plenty of me messing around the database is now creating creating loads of .trc and .trm files in the trace directory which is filling up my disk space.

    Anyone know how to stop the database from creating these files?

    Why would you want to stop these?

    trc and trm files are critical for diagnosing issues with the DB. They are used for fault finding.

    You can disable it by editing the listener.ora file. Google search is good for finding exactly how. Plenty of Oracle docs on it.

    As Paulw says, these are automatically generated when something bad is happening. The only way to stop them is to fix the problem. Have a look in your alert.log for clues as to what is happening, the detail will be in the trace files.

    I don't think that is correct, the listener.ora is purely for the listener, not for database issues. I think you may be referring to the pfile, which generally speaking, is not used any more.
