I need advice how to check disk usage?
There is oversize on disk storage and we need to check which folders or files are the cause of this
I checked phpmyadmin, no oversized data
All images and videos are uploaded on external hosts
Disk storage: 50 Gb Current use: 68.3 Gb
I deleted most backups but still the same space
your server or host has Control panel Like Cpanel,Directadmin,Plesk,..... ?Â
because depend on your Control panel you can check size of database or every directory.
for example in Cpanel you can Click on Disk Usage under the section Files

Storage capacity, as measured and limited by hosts, may fall into two categories: file size and inodes used. The latter is not always specified and the former is the most commonly used. If a host offers so-called "unlimited" storage, it still is limited by inodes.
cpanel_info Wrote:The Disk Usage table below indicates how much space the directories’ contents use, not how much space the directory itself uses. Files typically occupy more disk space than their actual size. This may cause discrepancies between the data you see in the File Manager versus the information you find here.
If you have command line access, there may be some useful tools found in this article.
