  • Remove any unnecessary and/or obsolete files that are stored in the httpdocs folder.
  • Configure log rotation as described in the Log Files section.
  • Delete outdated emails, or configure your mail client to download email messages from the server by switching to POP3. See the Access Your Mailbox section for more information.
  • Remove outdated backup files as described in the Uploading and Downloading Backup Files section.
  • Remove unnecessary databases. See the Website Databases section for more information.
