How to view Disk Usage in cPanel?
cPanel offers multiple methods to check the current Disk Usage. This article will cover all the available options to check the current disk usage and how you can smartly manage the available data to free up disk space.
Lets get started!
Using Disk Space
To get proper disk space usage directory-wise, cPanel has its separate option called Disk Space. You can see the list view of directory names besides its actual disk space usage in MBs. This is quite an important tool to know more actually which directory is using the more space and get rid of unwanted files/data. Isn’t that simple?
1. Log in to cPanel using Username & Password. i.e; (https://yourdomain.com:2083 or https://yourdomain.com/cpanel)
