3.11 MB of files outside my home directory - I cannot access

[bdistler]

In cPanel
Out of 5.30 MB total disk space used
3.11 MB are “Other usage” includes files outside your home directory and files that you cannot access due to system permissions.

My issue is - how did those files get there - if I (my account) have no access ?

You have a 5.4MB mysql database. That's probably what the data is.

I have access to the data base files

and those 'outside files' total 3.11 MB - not 5.4 MB

Yes, you have access to them, but they show up as "other usage".

I am actually looking into a quota issue with "other usage" on level right now.. but I'm not going to take the processing power to find 3.11MB of files--especially considering you don't have a disk quota.

It could be logs, or something else.

This is resolved.
