Agreed. I can’t imagine how there could be 16GB of redis. If you move to a new server, what’s in redis (typically) gets left behind, so one thing to do would be to just delete it and rebuild.

You can see what this says:

```plaintext
cd /var/discourse
./launcher enter app
redis-cli
info memory
exit
exit
exit

```
