Clean Disk Space

Clean your server's disk space when space is running low. This action will clean up old files that pile up over time and take up space on your disk.

Run Disk Clean Space

To run disk clean up, from the Dashboard or Servers page, click on the ellipsis icon for the server you want to clear space on and then click the Clean Disk Space option on the menu.

A modal will display where you can select which cleanup options you want to run. You can learn more about the options in the sections below.

Clean cache

This operation runs apt-get clean which clears downloaded package files. This removes everything except the partials folder and lock file from the /var/cache/apt/archives directory.

Clear compressed log files

This operation clears compressed archived files, *.gz, from the /var/log directory.

Clean systemd journal logs

This operation clears systemd journal entries that are older than 3 days.

Clean MySQL bin logs

This operation clears the MySQL bin logs, which are logs that contain event information, such as table changes. Click here to learn more about MySQL bin logs.

Schedule Clean Disk Space Job

Set a scheduled disk clean up job to automatically run on a set schedule. Enable the cleanup options you want to schedule and then configure what interval you want the job to run on.

If you reschedule a job, this will overwrite any existing scheduled jobs.

To remove a scheduled job so that it no longer runs, click Remove to delete the job.
