2.4GB is tiny, compared to servers with larger media collections.

See https://support.plex.tv/articles/202529153-why-is-my-plex-media-server-directory-so-large/

Do remove the data of old, now useless plugins.

I already did it, then there are no problems; I will try to follow the suggestions on the page you linked. thx
