Description
We noticed that the Litespeed cache plugin is continuously generating a huge amount of disk usage in /wp-content/litespeed/cssjs directory.
Day 1 5.8M (after clearing all Litespeed cache):
Day 2: 1.8G
Day 3: 3.4G
Day 4: 5.6G 7570 files
The WordPress cron does not clear these files, only Litespeed Clear All Cache option.
The complete website disk usage is around 1.5GB but over 5.4GB cssjs data and is growing every day.
The website has a low number of posts/pages but 2000 WooCommerce products.
How do you handle clearing the cssjs files or when?
Do you re-use the cssjs files if they are the same or generating a new combination for every URL?

Research direction
Start with the WordPress cron cleanup path and the LiteSpeed Clear All Cache behavior for /wp-content/litespeed/cssjs. Trace how CSS/JS combinations are generated and whether identical combinations are reused. Done means the expected cleanup and reuse behavior is defined and the cssjs directory no longer grows without bound.
