Full Version: Clear files DB

My host told me that I now have over 100,000 files on my server which is most likely due to caching plugins and settings. I just switched from file caches to memcache, is there a way I can flush the files cache?
go into the /cache/ directory and delete anything you wish to remove apart from the /cache/themes directory (remember to backup first too - just in case you remove something important). The other thing to remember is that uploads are stored as files on the disk too so if you have a lot of users with uploaded avatars and attachments, they'll be contributing.
That's really odd and if true then maybe a bug with "files" as cache.
Do you have the cache folder writable as chmod 777? That could be the cause too.
