hi

in the last week i've had a problem with my site,

my disk usage has filled up, the Public_html folder has suddenly started getting full really fast, i deleted some old backups, making 200mb, and within a few hours was full again, i freed up 220mb more and same again fills up so fast, and once full i cant open my emails or abantecart.

currently at over 800mb, 300 of that in one day

i made the site a year or so ago, and the disk storage has remained stable and low until about a week ago.

can someone tell me why it is filling up so fast, and what i need to delete.

i can upload screenshots if needs be

thanks in advance for any help

Hello.
Here are your options:
1. check AbanteCart, PHP version and Hosting Provider: Could you please let us know your AbanteCart version and hosting provider? This information will help in diagnosing the issue.
2. Enable System Check: In your AbanteCart admin panel, please enable the system check feature. This will run a few checks and might provide insights into potential security issues https://abantecart.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AD/pages/8159239/System+Check.
3. Identify Large Folders: You need to investigate which folders are consuming the most space. Checking for large log files or error logs, as these can grow quickly
4. Compare with AbanteCart Code Base: Ensure that the files and folders in your public_html directory match the standard AbanteCart code base. This will help identify any third-party files that might be causing the issue https://github.com/abantecart/abantecart-src

thank you for the reply,

i use orangewebsite, and the version is from the start of last year, unfortunately, now i cant even open abantecarte as my disk usage is full and i dont know what to delete to make more space. so i cant get the version or do the system check

this is the reply from support from my hosting, they said they cant help any more and i needed to ask for help on here.
Hello,

Majority of your usage is in public_html.

0 ./.well-known
23M ./admin
1.9M ./core
0 ./download
27M ./extensions
3.0M ./image
21M ./resources
40K ./static_pages
9.7M ./storefront
643M ./system
4.7M ./vendor
732M .

which majority seems to be cache inside the system folder.

644M ./cache
44K ./logs
644M .


in the layout folder in cache there is literally thousands of log files, takes a while to even load them all, the rest of the folders seem normal

i was thinking maybe delete the entire thing and restore from backup? or can i just delete loads of files in the cache?

thanks again for your help

Basara:
Hello.
Go to the /system/cache/ and remove all subdirectories. Please do not remove the /system/cache/index.html file

BlueLotus:
edit: i deleted just the layout folder and that cleared up over 700mb, but it is already starting to fill up with hundreds of files.

 i set up the system check, just got messages saying:

Number of repetitions:
1719
/public_html/index.php file is writable. It is recommended to set read and execute modes for this file to keep it secured and running properly!



/public_html/system/config.php file needs to be set to read and execute modes to keep it secured from editing!






---------------

just to double check, you mean all the folders? just keep the last file? or keep the folders but delete the contents of them all?

thanks again for your help
