 * The sub folders have filled up with 600MB of files.
 * Do you know what has caused this to happen and how we can stop it ?
 * Many thanks,

 * Can you confirm you are currently running 4.7.1?
 * Try using Sucuri online scanner or a plugin to check for exploits and malware:

 * Hi
 * Which subfolders specifically have filled up? Regardless of the folder though
   realize that if you have actions occurring on your domain that you did not authorize
   it’s usually a strong indicator that something is wrong. By wrong I mean, it’s
   a strong indicator that you’re dealing with a hack. Usually when folders get 
   filled with junk it’s technique used with spam campaigns.
 * You might want to consider reading through this guide: [https://sucuri.net/guides/how-to-clean-hacked-wordpress](https://sucuri.net/guides/how-to-clean-hacked-wordpress)
   to help you think through the delousing process.
 * Thanks
