Hi,
Since installing EasySocial the size of my Akeeba backups has skyrocketed. Back when I only had JomSocial the backup package was weighing in at about 170MB. After installing ES the size increased to 239MB. That is understandable with a big new component. When I un-installed JS it went down to about 235MB. Since then, each update of ES has increased the backup size roughly 10-20MB. Now, after about 5 ES updates in the last month the package is now weighing about 293MB.
I have browsed the file structure looking for old install packages and things but couldn't find anything out of the ordinary. Where could all this extra weight be coming from?
