[HELP NEEDED] SRV and VAR folder is taking too much disk space.

Posted on December 28, 2018

SRV (17 GB) and VAR (6.9GB) folder is taking too much disk space. And, it’s getting increasing day after day. And, I haven’t made any changes on my blog from many months. Just adding articles. Please help, because of this. I have upgraded my storage from 25 to 50GB. And, now 50 GB is also filling faster. I am a Windows user. Don’t know much about linux commands.
