[Solved]tracker-extract and tracker store issue

I am using gnome which I installed when I installed the system. Two restarts ago, I noticed that the cpu temp was at 62C and CPU was at 90%. The cause was tracker-extract on the first restart and tracker-store on the second restart. I have two questions.

1. Why now would these programs start to present a problem since they were not earlier?
2. Is there anyway to mitigate this issues?

From sudo pacman -Ss tracker, we get

extra/gnome-online-miners 3.14.1-1 [installed]
    Tracker miners for online accounts
extra/libtracker-sparql 1.2.5-1 [installed]
    All-in-one indexer, search tool and metadata database (SPARQL library)
extra/tracker 1.2.5-1 (gnome) [installed]
    All-in-one indexer, search tool and metadata database

If I try to uninstall gnome-online-miner, I receive

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: gnome-documents: requires gnome-online-miners
:: gnome-photos: requires gnome-online-miners

Since I use documents and photos, I would hazard a guess I will need gnome-online-miners.
I suppose my main annoyance is why all of a sudden these processes became a problem. As soon as I restart, I open a terminal and look to see which one it will be so I can kill it immediately. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: [Solved]tracker-extract and tracker store issue

I decided to just remove gnome-photos, gnome-documents, and gnome-musics in order to remove tacker.
