Your control panel shows an inode counter that tracks how many files and folders you have on your hosting account. If you’re seeing high inode usage or approaching the limit, don’t panic. Most websites use many inodes, and this is completely normal.
Quoting from the article:
Deleting files and folders you do not need will help the counter go below the limit. Note that inode usage is not immediately updated; you’ll need to wait a few hours before you can see results.
Please note that the inode counter in the control panel is not a live counter. The inodes of your account are counted once every 8 hours.
So if you just added or removed many files and are wondering why your inode usage hasn’t changed, just wait for some time for the counter to update.
