Hello,
We recently had to move to a server that had more RAM, and in doing so, we lost half of our storage space. Currently, we sit at 40 GB, and almost immediately, I started getting emails that we are running low on storage space. My site consists only of vBulletin (version 4.2.5) and cPanel, so aside from a 3.5 GB cPanel backup, there's literally nothing else on the site that could be deleted to clear up space. We have many, many old posts, attachments, etc. that could easily be deleted, but prior to this, I really never had an incentive to do so since we weren't at our space limit.
Anyway, prior to doing anything, we had 4.6 GB free on the new server. I decided to delete a year's (2006) worth of posts (about 2,000 posts) to see if that made any difference, and it did not, as after deleting those posts, we still have 4.6 GB free. I'm concerned that we're going to run out of space on the new server soon, and I'm not sure what I can safely delete that will clear up enough space to make me feel better about that. Can someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance for the help.
