What's eating my disk space

[JohnLoydall]

Hi - I'm trying to figure out what's eating up my disk space - is there anything in plesk that will let me know high disk use? I've got one client with backups turned on which was killing the server but now we remove anything older than a few weeks so that's under control but disk use is gradually building up a few gigs a week.

Any idea how I can identify what's causing this?

Cheers.

Right - I got to the bottom of this.

I thought that removing backup files through plesk would actually delete them from hard disk.

But - when I deleted them, the disk space available increased a bit but not as much as I thought.

I logged onto the box and found that there were still a whole bunch of site backup files on the disk that hadn't been deleted.

So - plesk wasn't fully deleting them or something..
