450GB Cache

  • My website was not monitored for a month and the cache grew excessively that my provider had contacted me.

    450GB cache on a small webshop with 50 products. 3Mil files.

    I couldn’t even delete the cache as WP FP was stalling and I had to completely uninstall it.

    I do have dozens of product tags which might contribute to many combinations of catalog pages. How can I limit the cache?

    which folder causes the issue?
    /wp-content/cache/all/ or /wp-content/cache/wpfc-minified/ or /wp-content/tmpWpfc/

    the latter tmpWpfc. But as I understand it is a temporary folder to where cache files are moved first when clearing the cache which I had attempted. Plugin crashed then and I was left with that folder.

    I had to ask my provider to remove it as it was too large for any file manager or ftp program.

    1. you can delete it via FTP.
    2. if the size of tmpWpfc folder increases, it means that you clear cache too often. you should stop doing it.

    1. This takes ages with 267000 folders in there.
    2. wrong. I have done NOTHING to my shop for a month and exactly that is why it has accumulated. I then tried to clear the cache and it was moved to the tmpwpfc folder. I assume WP FP has no limits and was creating more and more product tag page combination of my 226 Tags which amounts to an enourmous size of possible subpages.

    I need to find out which folder causes the issue in order to find a solution.

    /wp-content/cache/all/
    /wp-content/cache/wpfc-minified/
    /wp-content/tmpWpfc/

    You don’t need to write an essay. I’m asking a simple question. If you don’t answer, I can’t help you.

    Which folder causes the issue?

    /wp-content/cache/all/
    /wp-content/cache/wpfc-minified/
    /wp-content/tmpWpfc/

    If you don’t read replies It doesn’t help repeating questions.

    I saw at WP Fastest Cache Options >> Delete Cache >> timeout rules … you can set the time to delete the cache by day or time

    Hi, I had the same problem. My host also contacted me about the disk usage. They deleted 120GB cache to solve the problem.

    The cause is in the folder wp-content/cache/tmpWpfc

    I now deactivated the WP Fastest Cache plugin and changed to another caching plugin to be sure it doesn’t fill up my server space again.

    Hope this information helps you guys!

    Best regards,

    I too have a similar issue with the cache filling up my disk to 100% and I am unable to delete the cache using the plugin itself.

    Is it safe for me to manually delete everything in: /var/www/wordpress/wp-content/cache/all/*

    Furthermore – is there a way to prevent w3fc from filling up the disk? I noticed the tags directory was the largest and I was wondering if there is a way to prevent caching of the tags or does the plugin cache all?

    Many thanks in advance – I’d love an answer to this as I can’t work on my website any more.

    yes, sure.

    you can exclude the keyword as below.

    Hi Emre,

    Thanks for your reply. I’ll take a look at that setting now and I’ll monitor the disk space to see if that helps.

    Kind regards,

    Anthony
