Clean up and optimise the WordPress database
Shrink and speed up a WordPress database: remove revisions, spam, transients and orphaned data, find large tables and autoloaded options, and optimise tables safely.
Delete files older than X days automatically
Clean up old backups, logs and temp files on a schedule. Find files older than a set number of days, test with a dry run, delete them and automate it with cron, a systemd timer or tmpfiles.d.
Disk quota or inode limit full in DirectAdmin? Find and free space
Check disk and inode usage in DirectAdmin, find large folders, old backups, email and logs taking space, and clean up safely before uploads and email stop working.
Find what uses disk space in cPanel (Disk Usage tool)
Use cPanel Disk Usage to see which folders, mailboxes and databases fill your hosting space, find hidden large files, and safely free up storage.
Free disk space with docker system prune
Find out how much space Docker uses with docker system df, then safely prune unused images, build cache, stopped containers and volumes, and schedule a cleanup that never touches your data.
Free up disk space on a Linux VPS
Find what is using space, then safely clear package caches, systemd journal logs, old Docker data and large log files without breaking running services.
Free up disk space used by WordPress
