Hello @a159cm Happy you are here

Check you /wp-content/uploads check if you have remnants from backup plugins and image optimizers. Do you have folders you dont know which plugin created under /wp-content/

OR

Using ssh terminal check the size of files under /home/mywordpress.com/public_html/wp-content/

# list all files bigger than 100mb
find / -size +100M -ls

its real size is 1.5 GB. these 30 GB are half of my server, when 100% of the disk is full. the server issues a 500 error on all sites

It surely will. The 100% disk usage can be cache files accumulating or backup files. You need to delete those.

Disable the crawler feature - Crawler | Screen-by-Screen | LSCache for WordPress | LiteSpeed Documentation and purge all cache
