Files and dirs are not removed after deleting addon/subdomain

[rahnev]

When you delete addon/subdomain files and dirs, associated with this domain are not deleted and stay on the file system. Tested on cPanel v72.

Is this a feature or bug? Is there a solution for this behavior?

Hello @rahnev,

It's by design that files/directories stored under the document root associated with an addon domain or subdomain are not removed when the domain itself is removed from the cPanel account. I encourage you to vote and add feedback to the following feature request if this is something you'd like to see added to the product:

Option to delete folder when deleting domain

Thank you.

This seems like a no-brainer, that the option to remove the /folder/files would be presented when removing a subdomain or add-on domain. If a user adds and removes many but doesn't clean up the folders it becomes a mess, and also uses disk space.

Please up vote the feature request!
