Disk Space Usage too low

[Jessica.C]

It's been like this for a while now...

in my cPanel it says my Disk Space Usage is 36.15 / ∞ MB ... which isn't right. how could it be that little space? it's supposed to be a little over 1100 MB last time I remember ...

any reason why it's like this?

it was like this a little before the memory limit errors set in

I thought it might be connected to the memory errors? Corey said he'd fixed them but I'm still getting them

Have you deleted any files from your server recently?

You may have had a lot of temporary files (usually in a folder named /tmp/). My temporary files folder became larger than the rest of my files combined a few times in the past.

Your site seems to be a forum, which stores most of its info in a database, so unless a lot of large files are being uploaded or it is very very popular, it is unlikely that a forum will consume over 1 GB of disk space.

recently? no. I have deleted files before, but they don't drop the usage significantly ...

It was at over 1100 MB though for a long time. it was even over 2000 MB for a while (I have A LOT of files from installing a lot of modifications)

it could be the temp files. I'll take a look...
