  Hey there!  virtfs never takes up any actual disk space, even though it may look like it on the command line.  You can find more details on that here

  https://docs.cpanel.net/knowledge-base/accounts/virtfs-jailed-shell/

  "This directory does not use any disk space. However, because it is a virtual mount point, some commands (for example, du) report that the directory uses disk space."

  You'll need to look elsewhere to see what is using the space.
