Apologies if this is a noobish issue, but I’ve noticed that according to my graphs, my disk space is slowly filling up, at the rate of about 0.01% an hour. I know that rate is pretty slow, but I’m still confused as to why it’s happening. For context, I’m using my droplet as a webserver, with apache, PHP, and Let’s Encrypt. Could it have anything to do with Apache logs? Clearing them doesn’t seem to do anything, but restarting the droplet brought the used disk space down from 6.08% to 5.88%.
