Click into public_html, what do you find in there?

You can view on screenshot what is in public html.
In public html root I only have some php files and nothing more.

Hello

Does the overall disk space usage of the account that you see in cPanel and WHM reflect the same values that you notice listed for the public_html directory in the disk space usage viewer? If so, try fixing the quotas via:

/scripts/fixquotas

Also, check the disk space usage from the command line to see if it matches up. EX:

du -sh /home/user/public_html

Thank you.

You can also find out where the largest files/folder is with this:

nice -n 19 du -cksh * |sort -rn |head -21 > ducks.out &

Run this from the web root (/var/home/<user>) and look at ducks.out when it finishes.

I found problem.

Hi,

Deleting the error_log or any other log file or "normal" file which is currently used by a process is not the right way to do it. This is because removing that file will leave the file descriptor opened and you ask yourself later why df -h does not correspond with du -sh.

A proper way of freeing up the space in this situation is truncating the log file.
