I just noticed that the snapshots I have taken of Discourse forums hosted on Digital Ocean droplets are over 10GB each. And these are forums that have zero posts or users (I created the forums, took snapshots and then destroyed the droplets).
This might be a stupid question, but why are they so large?
I don’t need the forum online at the moment so I destroyed the droplet to save money. I created the snapshot so I could easily recreate the droplet when I want to put the forum back online. Is there a better way to do this?
