Hello

Inodes and storage space are separate measures, and are not directly related to eachother.

What does the inode limit mean

One of the limits in the control panel is the inode limit. What is it, and what happens when you reach it? What is an inode? In short: every file and directory on your hosting account is an inode. Unix-like systems, like Linux and macOS, use inodes to store information about files and directories. Every file and directory on a computer has an inode. A file system has limited number of inodes it can store, and the more inodes are on a system, the longer it takes to look up files. So too many in…

I am aware, just was lumping together 2 issues

[Greenreader9]

I am not sure what the issues are? Can you please explain and give a bit more detail as to what problem(s) you are having?

Thanks

I realized the inode issue, however, a few days ago filezilla & other ftp programs said that disc space was used up when cPanel reported 4751 MB of space free & 555 MB used.

I realized the inode issue

So you just need to remove the excess files and directories to be under the limit

As you can read in this article, the “Disk quota exceeded” error can be caused by hitting the inode limit of your account. As you can see, your are using way more inodes that the limit allows on our hosting.

FTP Error: Disk Quota Exceeded

If you have an account with many files or large files, you may hit the error Disk Quota Exceeded. This error is typically caused by either two issues: You have reached the disk space limit of your account (5GB). You have reached the inode limit of your account (30,000). You can see your disk space usage and inode usage in the sidebar in the control panel. Please note that the counters in the control panel are not live and are only refreshed once per day. What does the inode limit mean In Li…

If your inode usage has been that high for months and you’re only now running into this error, that could mean that there was an error on our end which resulted in the limit not being enforced. If such an issue was fixed recently, that could result in you getting this error now.

In any case, as far as I can see, everything is working is intended. And if you want to upload more files, you’ll need to delete some files first.

Yeah, just ended up making another instance of it
