Disk Usage
See how much of your plan's disk space you use, and find which folders and files take up the most.
Disk Usage shows how much disk space your hosting account uses against your plan's limit, split by websites, email, databases and other files. Below that, it lists the folders and files in your home directory, largest first, so you can open folder after folder until you find what fills the space.
Check your disk space
- In the panel, open Files → Disk Usage.
- Your disk space shows what you use against your plan's limit. The bar turns amber at 70% and red at 90%.
- Underneath, Websites, Email, Databases and Other files show where the space goes.
Find what uses the space
- Look at the folder list. Each entry shows its size, a bar and its share of the folder you are in, largest first. The line above the list gives the total size of the folder and how many files and folders it holds.
- Click a folder's name to open it and see what is inside.
- Use the path above the list to go back. Home is your home directory.
Each website's files are in web/<domain>/public_html, so start with web to see which site is largest. Disk Usage
only shows sizes: to delete or move what you find, use the File Manager, or an
FTP account for large files.
