Folders to clean before backup to a new install

Server Version#:1.18.3.2156
Player Version#:
Hi guys, i want to zip my plex server folder to reinstall my Windows PC and restore the backup afterwards. I did it before but i didn’t cleaned any folders, and the backup was huge and took a really long time. Right now i just cleaned the updates folder that was taking a couple of gigabytes off my ssd, and left only two old versions. But now i want to know what additional folders i can clean with no harm to the server.
According to windirstat:
-PMS folder is using 17GB.
-Metadata is using 10GB.
-Cache 5GB.
-Plugin support 1GB.
-Media 700MB.
-Logs 400MB.
I want to clean as much as possible to save space and become faster to transfer files.
Thanks in advance.
