Try to identify where the most disk space is used by any of these commands:
Sorted list of disk space usage small to large:
# du -hs * | sort -h
Find files larger 5 MB (5000k, adapt to the size you need):
find ./ -type f -size +5000k -exec ls -lh {} \; | awk '{ print $9 ": " $5 }'
Both of these commands may run a long while when executed from the root directory, because they will go through all of your disk.
It might be more efficient to start from /var/www/vhosts/ directory and /var/log directory, because most often a lot of space is occupied there.
You might also want to check if there are local backups stored on your system:
Find out where local backups are stored:
# grep DUMP_D /etc/psa/psa.conf
Then run du on that location, e.g. if your local dumps are stored in /home/dumps, run
# du -hs /home/dumps/* | sort -h
Adapt to your factual storage location.

I found the issue with is plesk74-fpm. I deleted the log but in a few hours it’s already filling up quickly and I don’t know the issue since I am unable to access that folder
You need root access the plesk-php74-fpm directory. Use the
Then secondly view the error.log file that's inside the plesk-php74-fpm directory the see thre PHP errors that are logged. Best would be to figure out if you can fix the PHP errors that are mentioned in the log file.
SU root command the switch to Root user.Then secondly view the error.log file that's inside the plesk-php74-fpm directory the see thre PHP errors that are logged. Best would be to figure out if you can fix the PHP errors that are mentioned in the log file.
