    Have you checked logs? Especially in /var/logs? that could easily add up space. Do you have Backups enabled? The default location on the server would be /backup and that wouldn't count against accounts disk space limit either.

    This is the size of my server : [QUOTE] [root@117 ~]# du -sh /* | sort -rh | head -n 10 du: cannot access "/proc/2496/task/12928/fdinfo/1075": No such file or directory du: cannot access "/proc/15678/task/15678/fd/3": No such file or directory du: cannot access "/proc/15678/task/15678/fdinfo/3": No such file or directory du: cannot access "/proc/15678/fd/3": No such file or directory du: cannot access "/proc/15678/fdinfo/3": No such file or directory du: cannot access "/proc/16197/task/16197/fdinfo/6": No such file or directory du: cannot access "/proc/16341": No such file or directory du: cannot access "/proc/16359": No such file or directory du: cannot access "/proc/16473": No such file or directory du: cannot access "/proc/16475": No such file or directory du: cannot access "/proc/16479": No such file or directory du: cannot access "/proc/16480": No such file or directory du: cannot access "/proc/16489": No such file or directory du: cannot access "/proc/16534": No such file or directory 66G /home 2.9G /root 475M /boot 401M /run 60M /etc 56K /backup 4.0K /razor-agent.log 0 /sys 0 /srv 0 /scripts

    Did you Remove unnecessary package? Use command: package-cleanup --quiet --leaves --exclude-bi

    /usr and /var can take up a lot of space, especially /var/lib/mysql Don't see these directories accounted. Are they on a different volume? What does df -h show?

    I just ran this command, and I didn't run a command after it.

    You can use the yum remove command to remove a package. For example, to remove the cpanel-geoipfree-data-108.0-1.cp108~el7.noarch package, you would run: yum remove cpanel-geoipfree-data-108.0-1.cp108~el7.noarch

    We have an excellent article here that shows you how to check disk usage on the server:

    Do you mean that all these packages are not important? Can I delete it safely? Will it not affect the work of WHM or cPanel?

    @EagleDotNet - you'll want to follow the instructions in the guide by moving into /home and then scanning that area, and repeating that process until you find something you can remove. If you aren't sure, it would be best to contact your host.
