Hello, in cpanel "Disk Space Usage" section it tells me "Other Usage"" is like 4GB. so i went to command line. cd /home/myusername;du -h . --max-depth=1 and result was:
4.0K ./.ssh 248K ./.fantasticodata 79M ./logs 36K ./.softaculous 4.0K ./cpmove.psql 516K ./etc 11M ./mail 99M ./tmp 188K ./.razor 20K ./.zamfoo 8.0K ./.pki 6.3M ./.spamassassin 47M ./.trash 8.0K ./.cl.selector 3.3M ./.cpanel 8.0K ./public_ftp 4.0K ./migration 136K ./.security 8.0K ./.cpaddons 3.1G ./public_html 12K ./cpanel3-skel 4.0K ./.htpasswds 4.0K ./homedir 52K ./.fontconfig 4.0K ./perl5 24K ./ssl 3.3G .
so im curious where are these other files while 3.1G ./public_html?

  Hello :) Typically, usage displayed under the "Other" category is for files not contained within your home directory. You can confirm this by checking the disk space usage in an account's home directory. EX:
  du -sh /home/username
  If it's less usage than reported for the account disk space usage in cPanel or WHM, then it indicates there are files owned by this user elsewhere on the system. This could include mailing lists, or simply files owned by the account elsewhere on the system. EX:
  id username find / -uid UIDNUMBER > /root/username.output
  Thank you.
