Fundamentally, the cPanel Disk Space Usage tool records all the directories and subdirectories in your home directory. This particular feature showcases how to use your disk space. Also, it can rally around in managing your disk space quota by representing files & directories that utilize vast quantities of hard disk space. In fact, you may be able to click any of the listed directories on your computer to open the related subdirectory in the ”File Manager” feature of cPanel. This tool gives you a detailed outlook of disk usage data about separate files & directories within the subdirectory. However, the Disk Space Usage tool of cPanel will not show the disk usage data for individual files in your home directory.

The Disk Space Usage tool of cPanel also exhibits disk space usage outlines for the following:

1. Files that are in your home directory
2. Files that are concealed inside the subdirectories
3. Mailing catalogs in the Mailman
4. Files that are not present in your home directory

Owing to the characteristics of storing all of the files electronically, most files take up vaguely more disk space than their original size. For instance, a file of 300 bytes may take up 4 kB of genuine disk space. Consequently, you may discover some inconsistencies between the Disk Space Usage feature and data in the cPanel File Manager element. The Disk space usage data in this feature does not point out the amount of space used by the directory. On the other hand, it just showcases the disk usage data concerning the content. In general, manuals themselves take up an insignificant amount of disk space. Also, note that the figures contained in the Disk Space Usage tool will not reveal any latest modifications that are done in you’reyou’rethe disk space of your account.
