Folder Size problem. Concrete 5 website folder in web root is too BIG!!!
Permalink
Hello there all,
I am a newbie to C5, just learning to use and develop sites with c5. I have an issue, I am building a website with c5 now, a website which has only 5 pages with an image gallery holds 50MB video file. But when I try to copy this website from my webroot folder for back up, the folder size is 300MB+ !!..
Why is that?? I cleared the cache but no use. for a simple site like this, why this much size? Is there any temp folder that I have to delete?
please help, thank you

thank you for reply. But let me ask you again. I find a trash folder inside folder named file. Now what should I do? should I delete all files in the folder "file" to trash ?
or I manually delete all files??
or I manually delete all files??
No delete the files which is inside trash not inside files. But remember to have a backup first.

thanx for your reply but that trash folder is empty now!!. pls find the attachment
Then there is only one way out to fix the problem. Try to see the size of each folder scattered in root.
hmm ok then? shall I delete those folders?
I'm confused, you said an *image* gallery holds a 50MB *video* file.
There is a folder called
Check that to see if you are caching a lot of big images. You can safely delete the files inside that folder
You should skip backing up that folder when you do you backups.
Other than that, concrete5 does take up a fair amount of disk space compared to what you may be used to for various reasons.

Sorry my bad for the confusion. I meant to say that I have Gallery section which has a 50MB video and that is only one biggest file I have.
My cache size is mere 25MB only? so where these other 250MB coming from?
thank you

Is this like a pop quiz? haha, Why don't you use the same method you just used to get the cache folder size to find the other folder that is using up a lot of space? Would probably be faster than asking here.
