High quality, yet affordable cPanel Linux hosting!

cPanel Disk Usage Interface

The Disk Usage interface in your cPanel control panel lets you view the files and directories in your account and how you use your disk space.

Accessing the Disk Usage interface

Login to your cPanel control panel using your web browser. Go to 'http://www.yourdomain.com/cpanel/' (without the quotation marks). So if your domain name is 'example.com' you should go to 'http://www.example.com/cpanel/' to login to your control panel. The Disk Usage interface is in the "Files" tab, simply click on the name or the icon to enter.

cPanel Disk Usage Location

Viewing disk usage information

This interface lets you see the following;
  • Files that are contained in your home directory.
  • Files that are in hidden subdirectories.
  • Mailing lists managed bu Mailman.
  • Files that are not contained in your home directory.

Please note that bars in the graph represent the disk usage relative to the largest directory you have.

Please note that if you're receiving a "Write failed: disk quota exceeded" warning, this means that your account has used the maximum amount of disk space your quota allows and that you can't save anymore files in your account.
