Hi Guys,  
First post here 🙂  
i have noticed the folder:  
C:\USERS\MY\_USER\AppData\Local\Plex Media Server\Plug-in Support\Databases

is getting extremly large although i dont have much media in my library [and the media folder is on another drive]

Do you have any idea how can i reduce this ?

example for the files in that directory

Do you have a lot of photos in Plex?

Do you use any Plex clients in your local network which are _not_ signed into your Plex user account?

Please double check and sign in any clients in your local network.

You can wait for a new software version of Plex server, which will correct this issue.

Or, if you are running out of space and you need a fix now, perform this procedure: [Plex Database sqlite file has more than doubled in 10 days - #66 by jg121212](https://forums.plex.tv/t/plex-database-sqlite-file-has-more-than-doubled-in-10-days/626071/66)

Make sure to download a backup of your database first!
