Directory /var/discourse space is 70G?

My website is a new website ,and users less than 200, and the VPS ROM is 90G,but today ,my websiete502 Bad Gateway nginx
afternoon I received an email:

The download_remote_images_to_local setting is disabled because the disk space limit of download_remote_images_threshold is reached.

finaly I find its because no enough space,here are some information:

root@kehan:/var/discourse# ./launcher rebuild app
x86_64 arch detected.
You have less than 5GB of free space on the disk where /var/lib/docker is located. You will need more space to continue
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/vda1        88G   84G     0 100% /

Would you like to attempt to recover space by cleaning docker images and containers in the system? (y/N)y
If the cleanup was successful, you may try again now
root@kehan:/var/discourse# ./launcher rebuild app
x86_64 arch detected.

My website may have been DDOSed this afternoon. Could these log files be DDOS logs?
Can anyone tell me how to sove the problem?

You can try ./launcher cleanup but I don’t understand why it would help. It will delete old and unused containers and images, that will eat up all the space at some point AFAIK, but yours is new one. But it doesn’t cost anything to try.

To be on safe side don’t stop your now-in-use container, because then it will be saved — if it is started after your rebuilding try.

Check to see if you have leftover backups here and delete them:
/var/discourse/shared/standalone/backups/default

Yes

Just rm /var/discourse/shared/standalone/logs/*
