If the result is normal, keep this layer lower in the hypothesis ranking and continue with the next discriminating check.

“Control the logs” should produce an observation that clearly confirms or rules out “Temporary files”.
If the observation is normal, lower “Temporary files” in the ranking and continue with the next distinct check.
If the observation is abnormal, keep the evidence and investigate “Temporary files” first. Related action: Add volume if growth is structural.
Look for old profiles without deleting those still used.
“Checking profiles” should produce an observation that clearly confirms or rules out “Update cache”.
If the observation is normal, lower “Update cache” in the ranking and continue with the next distinct check.
If the observation is abnormal, keep the evidence and investigate “Update cache” first.
Repeat the same validation test after the correction and confirm the original symptom is gone. Validate stability before closing the incident.
Before changing configuration, record the current value and a way back.
