Plex Media Server Very Large Cache

Hi there guys,

Just used TreeSize to look at my storage for my Plex server it has used over 750GB of storage space up to cache images, I recently moved all these Cached items and thumbnails from my C drive as it was taking up over 60GB but now I’ve moved it onto my A Drive which had 24TB its taken over 750GB.

Any ideas what this could be, is it normal. The server was running fine when the cached items were on the C drive and only using up a 1/10 of the space.

Any answers are much appreciated. Thanks James.

The coming server version 1.20.2 will contain a fix for an issue which prevented the server from properly cleaning house during the server maintenace.
