 * I write with great concern since something unusual is happening to me. I have
   been using the plugin for more than 1 year, I create backup copies of the website
   every 2 or 3 months, the total weight is approximately 700mb, yesterday I made
   a backup and it reached 2100mb, looking closely, I notice that additional files
   have been created in the location: wp-content\litespeed\js\
   In the previous backup
   this folder only contained 1 file of 423kb, now this folder contains 2827 files
   with a weight of 1.6GB and 2 more subfolders, therefore here is the problem, 
   it is the first time this has happened and I don’t know why this was created.
   Please can you help me so that it doesn’t happen again? I can delete all the 
   content of wp-content\litespeed\js\ without problem?
 * Thank

 * I went to tools / empty the entire cache and I noticed that everything was deleted.
   Can you please tell me what is happening?

 * [@vallesierra7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vallesierra7/) that folder
   is being emptied on purge all or clear css/js, as you saw it.
   You can clear the
   folder yourself, but I recommand clear cache right after that.
 * The js folder is gathering old(expired) JS until is getting cleared

 * What a scare, I thought a virus had entered when I saw the size of the backup.
   This is the first time this has happened, is it possible to configure it so that
   this is automatically deleted after x period?

 * unfortunately current version doesn’t have such auto-delete
 * however you can set up a system cron to check and clean it
 * for detail about the case, please check this [page](https://docs.litespeedtech.com/lscache/lscwp/ts-optimize/#disk-space-filling-fast)
