[Answered] cPanel - deleted files to free up space, emptied trash, but no reduction in space used. Why?

Is it just a matter of waiting a while? Is there anything I can do to speed this up? Thank you

Space meter sometimes takes a few minutes to update.

 

Also, check in your temp ~/tmp folder, the stats data loves to eat large amounts of space...

Here's the current breakdown

 

root@tommy [/home/wbdvsm]# du -h --max-depth=1
936K    ./.cpanel
0       ./.htpasswds
21M     ./tmp
0       ./public_ftp
564K    ./etc
4.4M    ./mail
36K     ./.spamassassin
360M    ./public_html
3.1M    ./.cphorde
464K    ./ssl
172K    ./.softaculous
0       ./.pki
0       ./cache
16K     ./.subaccounts
1.6M    ./logs
52K     ./.razor
0       ./.trash
391M    .

tmp can probably be cleared out if you want that 21 MB back.
