Hi everyone, I’m having trouble optimizing the storage space on my website. I believe the issue is related to the “WP Vivid Backup” plugin—many backup attempts fail, but they still get stored, which significantly increases my storage usage. Right now, I’ve exceeded the 5GB limit, reaching over 220MB.
In cPanel, I don’t see the usual sections to properly manage storage. I’ve been trying to access the backup folder and have deleted most files, but the used space still seems too high.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I’m a beginner, so any guidance is welcome. Thanks!
Don’t use backup plugins on free hosting. The files they generate often cannot be used due to file size limits, and they require a lot of resources to run, which can lead to suspension.
Both InfinityFree and WordPress recommend manual backups:
