# siteground-optimizer-assets folder large

 * Hi, when I purge SG Cache, should the contents of the public_html/wp-content/
   uploads/siteground-optimizer-assets folder be deleted? 
   I’m asking as it doesn’t
   do this and this folder keeps continuing to increase in size – it eventually 
   gets into the GBs if not deleted manually.
 * Many thanks

 * Hello [@mattdss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mattdss/)
 * It may indeed occur that the “siteground-optimizer-assets” folder becomes notably
   large. This typically results from the accumulation of numerous minified and/
   or combined CSS/JS files. Often, this is due to a plugin or a theme setting that
   appends a timestamp to your CSS or Javascript files with each website visit, 
   thereby generating a new cache file each time the website is accessed.
 * Normally, the contents of the public_html/wp-content/uploads/siteground-optimizer-
   assets/ folder should be automatically cleared when the SG cache is purged through
   the admin area of the application, which should reduce the folder’s size. Since
   you are reporting that this does not seem to be happening in your case, I kindly
   suggest that you submit a Helpdesk request through your SiteGround account, so
   that our technical team can review the case, investigate, and provide further
   information.
 * Best regards,
 * Stefan Stefanov
