 * Lately I keep running out of storage space on my hosting. Even though I was deleting
   unnecessary file and folders and moving stuff over to my AWS.
 * But I still kept running out of space.
 * This is bad because when you start to run out of space, your site starts breaking
   and not working. I’ve lost sales because of this.
 * I finally tracked it down..
 * W3 cache page_enhanced folder, come to find out there was almost 40 GIGS, yes
   gigs in there. Argh.
 * Is this problem known? Is it being addressed?
 * Like the plugin, but if it’s going to take up and much space and break my site,
   can’t keep using it. 🙁

 * I’m experiencing a very similar issue with the dbcache log files. [@fredericktownes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fredericktownes/)
   is this a known problem/being addressed?

 * I mean how many pages are on your website? The old one’s should be cleaned up
   automatically once they are expired with the garbage collection. But what is 
   number of pages/tags/categores/posts that are being cached.

 * It’s a woocommerce site with almost 6k products, maybe another 1k or so tag pages.
   By all means not a huge site. And not big traffic either.
 * Since I started this post I deleted almost another 10 gig cache. That’s way too
   much 🙁
 * I get it’s a free plugin, not expecting the world. But don’t see how the paid
   will eliminate this issue. Time to go with another solution.
 * Also seems like it’s caching both https and http. That might be part of the problem.
   Either way, still to much.
