### Description

Hi have a big problem with my rocket.chat server. Two collection\_\_xxx.wt files grow too big too quickly

Here one screenshot as I am limited to only send one:

The file collection-10-xxxx.wt is 1048MB big!

I dont know why both of them have around 6GB together?

I am pretty sure yesterday it was less than 6GB more like 1-2 MB I got a backup from yesterday but I would loose than all the conversations from today!

On the admin page it says the uploaded files only take 45MB total?!

I am a bit lost what is happening at the moment. Also my Google skills were not good enough cause I didn’t find the problemn for someone else ☹

Kind regards
