I just realized my Plex Media Server application data size is 90 GB.

I am trying to find out:

  1. Is this size normal (as expected)?
  2. What is taking up the most space?

I have about 900 movies, 160 TV shows and some music.

Yes.

Thanks Otto.

For future readers:
The .bif files as displayed in the screenshot are “media index files” also known as Video Preview Thumbnails. These are expected to take up to hundreds of gigabytes on large libraries.
