  You can view on screenshot what is in public html. In public html root I only have some php files and nothing more.

  Hello :) Does the overall disk space usage of the account that you see in cPanel and WHM reflect the same values that you notice listed for the public_html directory in the disk space usage viewer? If so, try fixing the quotas via: /scripts/fixquotas
  Also, check the disk space usage from the command line to see if it matches up. EX: du -sh /home/user/public_html
  Thank you.

  You can also find out where the largest files/folder is with this: nice -n 19 du -cksh * |sort -rn |head -21 > ducks.out & Run this from the web root (/var/home/) and look at ducks.out when it finishes.

  Hi, Deleting the error_log or any other log file or "normal" file which is currently used by a process is not the right way to do it. This is because removing that file will leave the file descriptor opened and you ask yourself later why df -h does not correspond with du -sh. A proper way of freeing up the space in this situation is truncating the log file. Regards, Raul
