Deleted email accounts and leftover files...

Hello, I have a cpanel account that's pretty old, and I've been deleting unused email accounts. Now I would like to free up some disk space. I've found files in /home/$USER/etc/domain.tld/ that appear to have been associated with the deleted email accounts. They're named emailaccount.rcube.db.epochnumber, can I delete those files? Also, is there anywhere else I can look for and delete files that were associated with the deleted email accounts? Thanks!

  Hi @jxmot, A great tool to use is NCDU to find disk space to free up. You can refer to NCurses Disk Usage for more information. I'll leave it to one of the cPanel team to address the first part of your question.

  Hey there! Feel free to delete the Roundcube database files if the account/domain has been removed from the system :D

  Thank you all! But I do not believe that I will be able to install the ncdu tool, I'm running in a jailshell.

  That's correct - you likely would not be able to install that tool if you don't have root access to the system.
