How much disk space VPS files takes? (4GB+ in my case)

[bisonbiz]

Yes.
How much it takes?

I understand with whm/cpanel 1GB and most hosts dose not count as they add this space free.

Loosing 4GB is way too much i think.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

I haven't checked recently, but my 'stats' folder(s) used to be huge - like almost a 1GB. I never use them, so I deleted the folders to regain the space.

Email storage can get carried away too - especially if you're using IMAP (the emails stay on the server) and you don't clear out the cruft from time-to-time.

Those are a couple of places that I would check.

You could always do a 'DU' and see what's going on...

Hi VinDSL,
Thanks for the reply.
But the support says 'new WHM/Cpanel takes 3.5GB'.

the other .5G might be the OS?

if you dont want to lose too much space, dont use any gui panel.
one of my vps with only web+php+mysql only use arround 2gig space.
including few hundreds joomla pages and mysql database.

if you want go down even further, you can remove all /usr/share/doc and other useless files (help, languages, etc)
