Cloned sites often contains files that were necessary for the parent site to function such as listings data. These files are not necessary for child site installs. These leftovers from the parent on the child are recommended to be removed to lower child site install size and bandwidth usage to comply with your hosting capacities limitations. These files can be easily found via the site directory or via SFPT here:

WP-Content > Uploads > (Any Folders with the name “WPL,” “WPL1,” “WPL2,” “WPL3” etc)

To accelerate the deletion process due to the large amount of files please contact your hosting provider to manually delete these files via Linux CLI.
