Running out of iNodes on Nitrous.io

I have been working on a meteor project for a while. It isn’t a big app although I have a few packages installed. I’ve been using a paid subscription to nitrous.io. I still have over 10 GB of disk space however I’ve used almost all of my inodes. I cleared the /tmp directory and also deleted the bundler-cache/linker dir but I’m still having the problem.

What I don’t understand is why these inodes continue to get used up even though I haven’t added any new packages in months or created new files (from my code) in months.

Anyone experience similar issues?
