    The W3 plugin really did speed up my website, the problem was it kept
    causing File Usage to reach maximum. when Talking to Namecheap support one savy tech realized it was W3 causing this issue and set up a cron job to delete the caches once a week, worked great for a few weeks, had done more work on the site since but the issue came back, and it not just this site I installed on another website and done the exact same thing, causing the website to not be reached as file limit has been reached. Is there not a setting to do this within the plugin, or what is going wrong here?

    Hello @del28it

    Thank you for your inquiry and I am happy to assist you with this.
    This all depends on your server, how big your website is, and how much traffic it has, and of course the settings in W3 Total Cache. But the Server is a major factor.
    Are you on shared hosting or VPS? Can you please share your website URL?
    What is the Garbage collection interval set for your website in Object caching, Page caching, DB caching, and Minify? For busy sites, a lowering value can help!
    thank you!
