My hosting disk space is full
Find what's using the space and free it safely.
When an account reaches its disk limit, uploads fail, email stops arriving and sites can break.
- In cPanel, open Disk Usage to see which folders are largest.
- Common space users:
- Email: old messages and large attachments. Check sizes in Email Accounts and clean up in webmail.
- Old backups left in your home folder.
- Cache and log files (such as
error_log). - Unused copies of websites, or old WordPress installs.
- Delete what you don't need (download a copy first if unsure).
Still short of space? Upgrade to a bigger plan.
