It turns out the disk usage increase is being caused by folders and subfolders being created at a rate of dozens per hour. There is only 1 small 4K file in each subfolder.

There are 18+gig of thousands of these folders in wp-content/cache/object/term-queries. Any idea what is creating that folder?

Here is what a disk usage report is showing. Is this woocommerce or the ‘W3 Total Cache’ plugin?

As per the logs , maximum storage is consumed by " public_html/wp-content/cache path.
inside cache folder, these are the below folders consuming more no of storge

Need to do something soon as am about out of hosting space!

Could HPOS be causing this? Or could it be ‘W3 Total Cache’ plugin from BoldGrid? Grasping at straws here because growth problem is not going away.

I could have sworn I changed site address before but this time it fixed it.
