Cannot Update cPanel Insufficient space issue

Hi, I setup WHM CPanel on Amazon AWS. When trying to update WHM it will not do it, error "cPanel & WHM cannot update due to insufficient disk space in the staging directory, '/usr/local/cpanel'. " It needs 3Gb space. On checking the AWS instance, it has 17Gb free as below listed. Cannot see what is blocking the WHM update. Any advice is welcome. :-) Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/xvda1 8377344 6601412 1775932 79% / devtmpfs 485916 0 485916 0% /dev tmpfs 507368 4 507364 1% /dev/shm tmpfs 507368 25964 481404 6% /run tmpfs 507368 0 507368 0% /sys/fs/cgroup /dev/loop0 487652 2470 459582 1% /tmp tmpfs 101476 0 101476 0% /run/user/1000

  At bottom of the page, here: WebHost Manager "Server Configuration "Update Preferences There's an option to change the staging directory you might be able to make use of.

  Many thanks Infopro. Is there a way to increase the directory size of '/usr/local/cpanel'? Alternatively, to which directory should I point the Staging Directory setting?

  No, but you might try cleaning it up some if possible. Open google, search for: /usr/ full cpanel site:forums.cpanel.net You'll find more results than you have time to read. :)

  Alternatively, to which directory should I point the Staging Directory setting?

  
  That's up to you. Have a look at some of those threads first though; you might get by with some maintenance.
