storage folder seems too big
Hi,
I have 2813 items saved in Zotero. But there are 5457 folders in the storage folder containing 198418 files for a total of 5.82 GBs. Is this normal? Furthermore some of these folders and don't seem to correspond with anything in my library. Backup takes forever and I would like to get rid of any unnecessary files/folders. Has anyone else noticed this issue?

1. Have you emptied your Zotero trash?
2. Make sure to count all items & attachments: https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/item_count
and include any groups you may belong to.
My Box account zotero WebDAV folder has 4104 files (zipped folders), totalling almost exactly 1.5 gigabytes; the storage folder in my zotero profile is 2098 folders, totalling 2.6 gigabytes. My zotero library has 3091 top-level items, 5536 items total. Is this just a matter of compression? Does this mean that if I paid for 2 gigs of Zotero file storage, I would be under the limit?
