Disk Usage Query

[Mjay06 0]

The xoops script I installed was taking up nearly all my available disk usage (18.44mb) so I decided to uninstall xoops & start again using a smaller script.I deleted everything relating to xoops, including the mysql database, checked the disk usage screen which showed hardly anything, went to install another script but I am still using 18.44 mb.Am I missing something blatantly obvious which I need to do to lower this?Thanks

It takes a while for the statistics script to adjust your stats. The script is only run occasionally, but don't know exactly how often or I would mention it here. Regardless, the stats for your site will be updated the next time the script is run and then you will be able to install additional scripts.

or you could create a script to tell you how much disk space has been used on your account (not including database) i learnt how to do it on php.net you can use this code:

function dskspace ($dir){$s = stat ($dir);$space = $s ["blocks"]* 512;if (is_dir ($dir)){$dh = opendir ($dir);while (($file = readdir ($dh)) !==false)if ($file != "." and $file != "..")$space += dskspace ($dir . "/" . $file);closedir ($dh);}return $space;}

the above code is a function and you can use it on many pages if you put it in a file (for example filefunction.php) and include it on which ever page you wish. Then add this code to the page:

include ('filefunction.php');$all = dskspace ('./'); //change this to the directory you want to tell the size of it will give size of that directory and all sub directorys :-)$all = round ($all/1024000,1);$mb = "mb";echo "-Used: $all$mb<br/>";

enjoy :-)
