  The usage will be automatically updated. Or you can run the script /scripts/fixquotas if you have any issue

  i already tried fix quotas, not helping the situation du -sh 18M but whm/cpanel shows 603MB for this 1 account. Any other way to troubleshoot this? thanks

  Hello, I can see some user files are present on your server but outside the user home directory and due to that cPanel/WHM is showing files disk usage. You will have to find out that files using following command find /home -user USERNAME | grep -v "/home/USERNAME"
  Also check user quota through command quota -v USERNAME

  thank you, you are correct find /home -user USERNAME | grep -v "/home/USERNAME" showed me few backup files under /home. After removing them, it shows correct space
