  Hi raisiness! It's perfectly safe for you to delete your backup file. I do recommend downloading a copy first, just in case. :)

  Your disk space can take up to 4 hours to update. It's not an instant process. Don't worry!

  if you have shell access, navigate to your account root and type: du -sh * that should list out all the directories and how much disk space thier trees are using. will give you a better idea of which areas are eating your disk space :) if you dont have shell acces, your host should be able to help with that. Sadly cPanels file manager is pretty rubbish for working out whats using all your space.

  Hello :) Please let us know if you have root access to this server, or if you only have cPanel access. Thank you.
