@tati Ah, gotcha. There are also WordPress plugins that can provide resource information and limitations right in WordPress (search: resource monitor). Maybe one of those would be helpful in staging as you do more testing. Good luck in your pursuit, and I hope you find the culprit. If all else fails, unleash the Tasmanian devil.

#wordpress nerds, i'm beating my head against the wall.@tati Maybe upload, monitor, and then delete those files a couple more times to see if you can consistently reproduce this memory issue to rule out a spurious correlation. That's what I would do just to make sure it was in fact the files.
If you have CLI access to the Ubuntu server, you can watch memory utilization in real-time with a tool called `htop`, check disk space utilization with `df -h`, and you might even check Apache/Nginx web server logs for errors around the time the site crashed.
