 * Hi,
 * One of my WordPress sites seems way too big. It was at around 130Mb, but now 
   it’s over 400Mb.
 * I have tried going to the cpanel file manager and scouting for directories for
   over-large files, or checking for backups that should have been sent to Amazon
   S3, but nothing is obvious.
 * Is there a tool that can drill down the various directories and list their respective
   sizes?
 * Any hints on this will be appreciated.
 * Thanks

 * Use cPanel >> Disk Space Usage
 * If you scroll down you can open the parent directories and see the sizes of containing
   content, and so on.

 * Thanks, that’s perfect. I have searched for a tool like this many times, but 
   never spotted it was there.
 * Looks like a vast amount of image content and a couple of very large plugins 
   are the culprits.
 * Cheers.
