Learn English – word for “unnecessarily large”

single-word-requests

I would like to say:

The utility produces unnecessarily large amounts of data, therefore most of it is discarded immediately.

The word should also, if possible, express the position that not only is the amount too large for me, but that it is too large for any reasonable use.

Excessive seems perfect in your case. Otherwise oversize but that would apply more to an item than a mass of data.
