Hi Guys 

Hope everyone is doing well. We are using Confluence server version 6.8.2 build 7701.

My question is that the attachment Folder of Confluence which is stored in 

/var/atlassian/application-data/confluence is increased to 57 GB.My queries are below:

Is this is a matter of concern

Is there any possbile ways to reduce the size.

Will it cause any issue in the future.

It would be great help folks if i can get some help on this. Thanks a lot in Advance.

Regards

Hi Rosan,

can you check which folders are using the disk space?

Run

du -ch --max-depth=2 /var/atlassian/application-data/confluence

and it should tell you what directories are consuming the space.

If they are logs that are not being rolled over or temporary file caches, you are safe to delete them. If they are attachments, you will need to talk to the space owners. Mapping the space id's to the space names will require some SQL, but it can be done.
