-the amount of [space] available on the server for storing the content of your website is called [disk space]-
.
*your website’s content includes your…* —>
images,
databases,
videos,
files,
website pages,
emails,
etc
.
You can control how your disk space is organized from the File Manager.
Your website’s files, including your logo, photos, blog posts, JavaScript, PHP, and CSS files, will be stored in this area,
and your disk space will contain all publicly accessible information and files required to run your website.
Once you reach the disk usage limit, your site could be impacted by reduced performance since it loses the ability to expand or manage temporary data files necessary for site operation.
This could result in your website not functioning correctly or loading at all, inability to receive mail, and more
.
This article will serve as a guide to help you check each:
Disk Space
The disk usage can be accessed from the Files section of your cPanel account.
To learn more, please see Disk Space and Bandwidth Usage
.
MySQL Databases
MySQL Database usage can also be checked from within the Disk Usage page.
From the Disk Usage page, scroll down to find MySQL listed under ‘Location’, and click here.
You will be redirected to the MySQL Databases page.
There will be a list of all databases on your account under Current Databases, along with the size of each
Take note of any higher size files
.
Inode Usage
An inode is a data structure used to keep information about a file on your hosting account.
You can check this in the Statistics section of cPanel.
To learn more, please see Inode Limits.

Delete Unnecessary Files and Folders
Remove any file or folder that is no longer needed for your website(s).
You should only store files actively being used by your website(s).
If you are nearing your disk space limit, free up some space using the File Manager or via FTP.
.
Delete CMS Installations
Delete any installations that you are not using any more.
Please see Softaculous to learn more.
.
Delete Old Backups
Many WordPress backup plugins save backups to your hosting account by default.
Check the plugin’s settings to see if you can designate the backups to be stored in a third-party file storage or locally on your computer.
You should save any backups on your hosting account to your local computer, then remove them from the server
.
Deleting Inactive Plugins
If using WordPress, deactivate and/or delete any plugins that are not currently in use.
Please see How to Disable/Delete Themes and Plugins in WordPress to learn more.
.
Delete Unused Media
Review all media files, and remove items that are no longer needed for your website
.
Delete Email Folders
If you show high inode usage and you use cPanel webmail, clean your email folders like junk/spam and trash.
Each email is a file that counts towards the inode usage for your account
