 * Hamoon,
 * I’ve never noticed this problem ever before, nor has any user reported this till
   date. Do you know which folder within contextual related posts folder created
   this issue?
 * The cache feature doesn’t use the disk for storing files.
    The only issue I see
   could be with timthumb cache going berserk.
 * Please do monitor and let me know if this is happening again over the next week
   or so?

 * it happens again, in 3 hours it make 8gig ! i don’t know how. then i deleted 
   all .txt files in contextual-related-posts/timthumb/cache. then 8gig returns 
   to 0.5mb ! i don’t know how is this possible , i never had this kind of problem
   with this plugin! but now it’s usage space is 65mb ! i reported this to my hosting
   provider and they didn’t know how is this possible too, they just put 000 permission
   to CACHE folder. i don’t know it works or not

 * all that .TXT files that i said are just maybe 100kb not 8gig! but when i deleted
   CACHE folder content, webdisk got empty ! now CACHE folder is empty but still
   it shows that the contextual plugin folder uses 65mb space! i don’t know where
   is this 65mb file or files!

 * It seems to be a problem with timthumb. I suggest disabling timthumb and checking
   the usage.
 * Another option worth trying is to completely remove the plugin. First deactivate
   the plugin and then delete it from the Plugins page in your WP-Admin. This should
   completely delete the folder contextual-related-posts
 * It could be possible that timthumb doesn’t have delete access to clean up the
   cache files.

 * i did all these works, i didn’t enable timbthumb , it was OFF always
    and i removed
   plugin once , and it happend again. now i told this problem to my hosting provider
   and they said to me that they did some works on server to prevent this problem
   and i don’t know what are those works. i hope it works…
