Tony,

Thanks for responding. Yeah I called support, they looked through things and didn’t see an obvious answer. They suggested I go through every folder and look for very large files. I looked through all the folders that had been recently updated and the only kind of large files were the backups. I deleted most of those, but there is not much of a change in the disk space usage, still over 12GB.

One of the support people I talked with told me that it would not be caused by something in ny MySQL databases because they are stored on a different server(something like that), but since I did find that one result with spam words there (from rngdmstr’s suggestion) I wonder if he was wrong.

I’ll try calling tech support again tomorrow.

I ended up deleting several of the backups created by Updraft Plus, hopefully that fixes the problem. I kind of doubt that is the problem though because those backups were each created a week a part. It doesn’t really make sense that it would cause my disk space usage to jump 12GB all at once, unless the tool my hosting account uses to show disk space usage started working or stopped working on 9/12.
