W3 Total Cache completely fills available diskspace

  • I have a single WordPress blog, with Weaver II theme, and about 1400 posts. The database’ size is 70MB. After installing W3 Total Cache (0.9.3) and running it for some time (some weeks, enough to have almost all 1400 posts cached), it totally fills my available diskspace. I have 10 GB space, which was all used today! After I deleted the cache-folder, my used diskspace is again back to 70 MB. I don’t think it is normal, nor acceptable, that a cache plugin increases the required diskspace with 14000%

    Any idea how to solve this, other than uninstalling this plugin?

    Nobody having a solution for this? In just 3 days time, my disk-space exploded from 70 MB to almost 9 GB.

    I found the same thing — the “db” folder of the total cache was HUGE.. It took ages just to delete all those files.. Something definitely.. But it doesn’t happen everywhere; I installed it on several sites and only one got huge..

    I deactivated the plugin, since it would completely fill my diskspace, even after I doubled my hosting package…
