Manually delete incremental backups

Zi
Zipelkopf #1

Hi, I’m trying to save some space from one of my servers and despite Cyberpanel tells me via the web-interface that there are no incremental backups, the incbackup folder under one of my sites shows 3.6G of space used :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

What can I safely delete inside the incbackup folder to erase the incremental backups and reclaim disk space?
FYI, this server is on CyberPanel 2.3.1

Thanks a lot

first thing upgrade your cyberpanel and then please remove the directory no worries

Thanks, but I checked the incbackup folder for a brand new website and it is not empty… there are still a lot of tiny files and folders. I have the feeling that removing the whole content of incbackup may compromise the possibility of running incremental backups later on.

…any more thoughts? Cheers

if you del all data from this that will be ok no worries
