Hi on Pertube it shows me that it has 42 GB of data occupied, but there are only two users and we are not watching anyone and the videos of the users have 11 GB. Please does anyone know how to find out what is taking up data on peertube. Or how to delete this data. Thank you very much for your advice.

But also, it could perhaps be just because it's storing multiple versions of those 11GB of data in different resolutions?

Can also use a web terminal to figure this out:

du -hcs *
I have 21 gb of videos and 18 gb in the streaming-playlists folder. Do you think I can delete the folder?

So the problem was in the VOD transcoding settings. I also had WebTorrent transcoding enabled and the videos are then saved 2x. Thanks for the help, I think the thread is solved
