Hello,

The Email Disk Usage option in cPanel will show you the usage and allow you to delete it:

Email Disk Usage - Version 68 Documentation - cPanel Documentation

Let us know if that helps.

Thank you.

Hi and thank you for the reply. I am familiar with how to manage disk space and deletion of email messages etc but as you can see on the screenshot above, this inbox virtually does not show on the cPanel. I was wondering whether I can manually locate it via the FTP and delete the folder from there to clear the contents?

Hello,

Yes, the individual emails are stored in the following directories for the default email account should you want to manually remove them:

/home/$username/mail/new
/home/$username/mail/cur

That said, you should still see the default account listed in "cPanel >> Email Disk Usage". Are you sure you have used this option? It's only been included since cPanel version 64.

Thank you.

Hello,

Is this for the default email account, or an individual email account that you created? What's the specific path you are checking?

Thank you.
