    Default Drive Critical: (/) is 92% full

    If the (/) refers to the / partition, I allocated 1024 MB as instructed in the Cpanel installation manual.

    Does anyone know why this happens? It used to be at 83% before, and now it increased. I never did anything directly to add to / partition.

    Please help.

    Thanks

    Here's what / has ...

    /dev/sda3 10154020 1300752 8329148 14% /var

    So I dont think I can delete anything from /

    What I dont understand is when I did "ls -lh", it seems it's only using 193K? but how come when I did "df" it says I'm using 885476 ? Can any linux experts help on this? Thank you!!
