Drive space still showing as 472.52MB used.

[talk2azs]

I posted a thread earlier this week about my drive space running very low. I was told the log files were taking too much space. So I went ahead and backed them up and then deleted them. Eventually my drive used space went back down to 327MB.

Come today I see that my used drive space is back up to 472.52MB. I deleted a 100+MB log file a few hours ago. But my used drive space is still showing as 472.52MB used.

Is there a way you can just disable the log files? I have not had any use for them in the many years I had my account up and running.

If that is not possible, pleas at least up my drive capacity limits to account for the idiotic log files.

Thanks.

So this morning I found another 200+MB log file. This August file did not show as an existing file yesterday. I deleted the August file today, and now my used drive space is showing as 335MB used. But yesterday, when I posted this thread, there was a July file that was over 150MB. I deleted that one, but my used file space did not go down.

I guess I will just have to add some code to my daily cron script to go into the log folder and delete all files over 20MB.

I can see your current usage is "normal" as you describe. Cleaning up log folders is always a good idea to make sure you reserves the space needed.

However, also as a long term user I have increased your available space to help in the event you can not clean these up in time in the future.
