Sean,

To restate what Philip said:
"Linux uses available Memory as file cache"

You are misunderstanding the buff/cache item and assuming there's a problem
-- this is an very common (but also incorrect) assumption

Please read more on the topic here: https://www.linuxatemyram.com/

Linux is doing smart things to make the server operate faster, this does
not have a negative impact on your system, in fact, it is speeding up
access times for files since they can be read from memory instead of
pulling data from disk/NFS.
