 * Hi support
 * I have not access my wordpress for more than half a year. Recently I am receiving
   warnings from the server that there is a very high disk usage.
 * My store has around 8– products, each has two different attributes: color & size
 * There are too much disk space usage under this directory /usr/local/lsws/cachedata/
 * I read from another thread that I might have too many query strings and attributes
   and products in store but I have already included all the attributes under drop
   query string settings.
 * There is another setting under cache>excludes>Do Not Cache Query Strings
 * What is the different between drop query string and do not cache query strings?
 * Is it safe to delete all contents inside this folder /usr/local/lsws/cachedata/*

 * don’t use drop query string , let’s say if you add `test` into that field , then
 * that option means `/?test=123` and `/?test=456` and `/?test=789` …etc will all
   share the same cache
 * in that case you should use do not cache query option.

 * that’s exactly how i want it because regardless of the size and colors, it should
   be on the same landing page.

 * huh ?
 * but that you will lost the feature to use URI query string to filter/select the
   attribute, I am not sure if this is exactly what do you want.
 * it is more logical to add to “do no cache uri” in order to preserve the funcionaility
