MySQL DB growing to fast

[blablabla]

I'm not sure what's going on lately. I have almost 13 000 pictures online and DB is starting to get bigger really fast. After adding 100-200 pictures in last few weeks, it changed from 10 MB to 15 MB. What could be the reason for this  :-\ I really don't know much about MySQL so I would really appreciate if anyone can help. I would like to have a gallery with over 25 000 pictures but if it continues to grow like this it can couse a lot of problems  :'(

make sure you're not logging too much stuff - a blind guess is that the db isn't growing abnormally fast because of new pics, but because your logs explode due to a lot of traffic. Post a link to your site and a screenshot of your logging settings. A screenshot of the phpMyAdmin screen that shows the table sizes might help as well.

all settings are on, i guess that was the problem.
is it safe to delete that table in db after disableing logging or is there any other way to clean this ?

The screen shot of phpmyadmin clearly shows that cpg132_hit_stats table is eating up 11.7MB space out of 15.5MB. So if hit stats doesn't mean much to you turn it off completely i.e. turn "Logging Mode" off.

I did that, is it safe to delete that table now ?

back it up first (create a dump both of structure and content), then empty it (instead of deleting it). If this fails, restore the backup.

it's working
