  When more websites are hosted on a shared server, the amount of free space on the server gradually decreases, and warning emails like this one appear. Step 1: Validate the warning Check the disk usage status in the server using the command 'df -h.' root@host ~ $ df -h If the result shows use% 82.68%, it clears that the warning email is valid. Step 2: Examine the disk usage Use the following command to determine which folders in a disk use the most space. [ root@host /] # du -h - -max-depth=1 Step 3: Free up some disk space You must delete files that are consuming space and delete the files and folders that are not important and relevant enough. The server's disc space would improve, and the warning emails would stop after removing all the unnecessary files and folders. Note: When deleting files, extreme caution must be taken into consideration. Even the loss of customers or the crash of the entire server can result from accidentally deleting a crucial file.

  Hey there! The most likely explanation is that the email notification was sent during the time backups were running on the machine, which temporarily increases the disk usage on the machine as data is being copied. Does that seem like a likely scenario for your server?
