Becca 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2005 Hello I recently created a new forum and then upgraded it to a newer version. But then I decided I didn't want them no more and deleted them.But when I deleted them the space it was taking up didn't go back down in the Disk Usage bit and then I had a look at the Disk Usage Viewer thing and the forums I had deleted werent there. I don't know whether it only deleted the forum files the scripts recognised or what?? Well my space is runing out I want to install new stuff with requires more space and well. Disk usage 101.46 / 150.00 MBopefully someone will understand what I am talking about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
serverph 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2005 database eats up disk space also. if it's not deleted with your forum uninstall, you may have to delete the database via cpanel. clean up other DBs which you are not using anymore. although DB size may not be that significant, it can add more to your disk space if you get rid of unused DBs.or, it could just be another cpanel glitch (like the bandwidth glitch, which incorrectly reports bandwidth usage in cpanel). wait for a day, then check again...

zippy77 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2005 Hey I got the same problem. I just removed an installation of geeklog and was about to install PHPnuke, but then I noticed the disk usage never went down after removing geeklog. I have checked in the cpanel disk usage and it shows nothing bigger than 0.8MB and that is my images folder. I also checked by ftp but nope the folder is gone and so is my disk space.

NilsC 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2005 In your public_html folder do you have any other files / folders / or directories. / public_html / (Current Folder) _private 755 _vti_bin 755 _vti_cnf 755 _vti_log 755 _vti_pvt 750 _vti_txt 755 cgi-bin 755 images 755 .htaccess 0 k 644 _vti_inf.html 1 k 644 index.html 10 k 755 postinfo.htmlBecause this is the default settings for that folder.

At the moment I have nothing on my site. It is empty so I have no scripts installed that would be messed up or anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Becca 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2005 yes I probably have over 100.. but they are only about 15kb or less each..? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spectre 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2005 In cPanel, try looking in the 'Disk Usage Viewer'. It will show you how much space each of the directories is taking up.Where it says '15kb', this is the size of the actual existance of that directory only; not any of the files or other subfolders under it. If that makes any sernse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zippy77 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2005 It is some unknown error that NilsC is looking into right now. I had my hosting account deleted then re-activated cuz we thought it might fix the problem and at first it appeared to have done the trick, but not long after I began having disk quota exceeded errors while uploading a whole 1.9MB. I'm not in any particular hurry as my site has not been advertised yet, but it kinda put a damper on the idea of getting my site design finished today. Oh well there is always the army sys!(I hope ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

serverph 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2005 maybe it's time to upgrade cpanel (if there is an upgrade)...? just a thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Becca 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2005 na.. it's just cpanel problems... i haven't used that amount of mb space.. but it still shows that much and wont go down when i delete things.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zippy77 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2005 na.. it's just cpanel problems... i haven't used that amount of mb space.. but it still shows that much and wont go down when i delete things.. 131622[/snapback] Ya thats how it started for me too, but now the Max space says 20MB which used to say 150MB. My bandwidth is still 5120MB so this shows that my account has been upgraded to package #2 but somehow it seems as if cpanel has made a hybrid package#1/package#2 account.
