In “Part 1″ of how to deal with emails from the server warning that you are approaching your file limit, we looked at how to figure out why you were approaching your limit. We also looked at one likely culprit: email.
Causes other than email accounts might be the problem. In this post, we look at how to delete files through cPanel. We also point out 2 things that cause some people problems so that you can avoid the trouble.
Click the “File Manager” link on your cPanel home page. After clicking the “File Manager” link, click a folder icon to navigate. Click a file name or folder name to view properties and get a list of actions you can perform. When you click a file name, you will see in the upper right of the screen:
- name of your file
- File Type: HTML document text (an example, your file might be different)
- Show File
- Delete File
- Edit File
- Change Permissions
- Rename File
- Copy File
- Move File
Click “Delete File.” Then look down a little ways along the right side of the screen. Find the trash can icon. Click “Click on the trashcan to empty it.”
There are two parts to this that confuse some people. First, the actions are on the top right of the screen. (Many people do not see these.) Second, the additional step of clicking on the trash can is forgotten or not noticed.
