    Hello. I received an email from my host to say that my site was running out of disk space. Checking the Disk Usage in cPanel I see that the lscache directory is using 19.7GB of my 25GB account.

    Why would it be so large & how can I reduce it ?

    Thanks!

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Where do I find the Access Log so that I can check this ?

    @markwebstar on server admin panel.
    But the exact location is different from panel to panel. Which panel you use?

    I downloaded the logs but have no idea how to interpet them !

    The support time at my webhost, Namecheap, advised me to go to LiteSpeed Web Cache Manager in cPanel and “Flush All”.

    flush all is like clean up the files , but it doesn’t fix the issue from root then just mask it.

    please share me like 10 or 20 lines from log , I will explain how to read it

    it looks like a bit of bot , but I’d suggest to more specifically looking for any request with different query strings , that is most likely the culprit
