I had cpanel trial and it is ended. Now it gives this error: Disk usage warning The filesystem "/home" mounted at "/home" reached "warn" status because you currently use 83.04% of its available blocks. The problem causing by backups and its accounts. I cannot remove them, i have no access to cpanel dashboard. Only I can use is SSH command line. Please help. Also how can I remove cpanel without breaking my site?

  Hello @runescaperoot, cPanel & WHM is not designed for use without a valid license file, and there's no supported path to uninstall cPanel & WHM. The typical approach is to backup your account data to a remote location, reinstall the OS, install a new control panel or web server, and then manually upload your website data from the remote location. Thank you.

  Okay how can I stop the service? Because the trial period ended. But it still making changes to my site, sending cron monitoring mails, backuping data etc. How can I disable it at least for now?

  Hello @runescaperoot, You can try using the following WHM API 1 function via the command line to disable a service or disable monitoring (automatic restarts) for a service:

  Hello @runescaperoot, It looks like API functionality also requires a valid license. As noted, you're likely to encounter several issues like this, as the product is not designed to function without a license. There's no supported method around this, other than reinstalling the OS. Thank you.
