wolstech Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Check in the tmp folder. The statistics software loves to eat data since there's 3 apps to choose from and they're all on by default. You can turn off the ones you don't use in cPanel (Metrics editor). If you use FTP, you can see the hidden files (flies starting with period). Odds are it's going to be python modules, mail, and similar things that you actually need to keep... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krydos Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Krydos teach me how to run the root@tommy...Only 3 people have the root password for Tommy. If you install linux on your home computer you can run commands like that on it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
