Can I delete ServiceHub.* in Visual Studio 2017?

Question

In VS2015 there was various stuff running in the background, like \"VsHub\", etc. It connected to MS servers, and possibly leaked stuff. So the common approach was to delete tho

Answer 1

I turned off CodeLens and it instantly went down to 0%.

In VS: Tools->Options: TextEditor->AllLanguages->CodeLens

Uncheck Enable CodeLens

If you don't want to completely disable it you can try turning various things. TFS related things like Incoming changes would explain the Network activity as highlighted earlier.
