Question psa folder occupies more than 50% of my EC2 instance disk space

[cits]

Server operating system version

Ubuntu 22.04

Plesk version and microupdate number

Plesk Obsidian Web Admin Se Edition Version 18.0.58 Update #2

The /var/lib/psa/dumps directory is consuming over half of the disk space on my EC2 instance. With a limited budget, increasing disk size or adding more storage isn't an option. The server has reached full capacity, preventing access to Plesk. I need to delete unnecessary files from the instance. What steps can I take to decrease the space used by the dumps directory?

/var/lib/psa/dumps stores all local backup files. You can remove local backup sets from Tools & Setttings > Backup Manager or - if they were created by a subscription user - from Subscription > Account > Backup Websites.
