[FIXED] How to clean up unused files in Wordpress hosted in Bitnami GCP?

Issue

I have hosted my WordPress website on gcp bitnami. Recently I encountered size issue, My website has reached 10GB of storage disk. And I went to health info in WordPress, My database is just 54MB, my uploads is 450MB., my WordPress directory size is 3.5GB., what is causing this bloat? What accounts for the remaining space? I tried using cache plugins to purge cache.

This is what I get if I run

sudo df -h 

Solution

Pagespeed Ninja Plugin was the problem here. It created a new folder with lot of js files that amounted to around 3GB, and it had some .cache files under the plugin's folder, which again had around 4GB of files. I just uninstalled and deleted the plugin,.Now everything is alright.
