Disk space used not displayed properly

[dfine]

Hi, i've a client who deleted all of his web files from the server using ftp but in the plesk report, the disk space used in httpdocs is still reported as 179MB. I did a check in the httpdocs using both plesk and by connecting remotely to the server and found the httpdocs folder to be empty. Does anyone know the solution to this one.

Thanks lots!

Have you waited 24 hours since deleting everything in the domain folder? It is likely that the statistics job that runs daily in the root cron would calculate disk utilization for files that are deleted outside of the Plesk file manager.

7 4 * * /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/statistics >/dev/null 2>&1

Thanks for that info! I didn't know about this cron job that will recalculate the disk space that runs at 4am. Learn something new today.

It's more or less a guess. I would bet it would be in that job.
