Hey I know this has been asked before here, but I can’t seem to find a solution..
Basically my n8n instance on digital ocean is just accumulating data and it’s now taking ~90% of the disk. I’ve set the VACUUM auto start thing but when I try to restart the instance it will not work and the pruning doesn’t work either. As I understand it, VACUUM needs more space to run.

I’m really struggling here… any tips on how to proceed?
