    Hello.
    Since adding the plugin, my disk space has filled up, massivly
    currently dowloading a copy of my site via ftp and aleay at 7536 files

    any ideas?

    I am assuming there are some sort of backup files or log files filling up, maybe?

    any advice would be much appreciated

    Hello @hdpixeldesign

    Thank you for your inquiry and I am happy to assist you with this.
    When W3 Total Cache is enabled and configured, it creates a cache folder in wp-content.
    Depending on the W3TC settings and caching method and the size of your website, a certain amount of cached files are created within the folder. So you should check the size of that folder (number of files)
    A couple of tips:
    When on Shared hosting Database Caching and Object Caching should be avoided when caching to disk. Object Caching especially can create a lot of files so if you want to use Object Caching it’s recommended to use a memory-based caching solution like Redis or Memcached which are on VPS or Dedicated hosting.
    I am not seeing debug enabled so there are no log files created by W3 Total Cache.
    Depending on the number of pages, each page is cached once visited in wp-content/cache/page_enhanced/
    I hope this helps!
    Thanks!
