GuestGreetings! W3 Total Cache kept crashing my site so I disabled it, but trying to delete it crashes the site too, so it is sitting inactive in my plugins. For months I have been getting emails from Siteground that my hosting plan has reached its max Inode quota. I keep deleting the cache file in wp-content as instructed by Siteground but would love to get to the bottom of this. They said I should advise you that the cache file keeps growing. As you can tell, I am not a developer. Can you please help me fix this error?

KeymasterHello Eva,
Thank you for reaching out, and I am happy to help!
W3 Total Cache is the most complete optimization plugin with a lot of optimization settings and caching.
Depending on the configuration, you may have set everything to cache to disk. In cases where the Inodes are limited and on shared hosting, it’s not recommended to use the Disk caching method with Object Caching and DB Caching. And in this case, depending on how big the website is, it may create a lot of cache files and therefore hit the limit.Can you please share the content of the wp-content/cache/ folder?
Also, if you manually delete the /cache/ folder, is it created again?Thanks!
