I have a new forum, which currently has around 60 users, and currently only about 3 topics. (I only invited users today). We hope to have around 3000 users.

I have a 40GB VPS currently, which can be expanded, but `/var/lib/docker/overlay2` is around 15.1GB in size and seems to have increased by a few GB just today which doesn’t seem normal.

Wondering if it due to having run `./launcher rebuild app` earlier to fix the issue with the profile pictures.

Is their a way to clear these down, I presume they are docker volumes that got duplicated when running the rebuild.
