 * Hey there, I did a few backups and stored them on the computer so I deleted all
   the backups and files and what ever I could find was created because my webspace
   told me it is almost full! as I am not using that much data with my pictures,
   this cannot be my media library (have a mirror media library on my computer and
   it says less than 5GB) I created a .phd to show me where this content is and 
   it says it is a backup file but I can not find where it could be! Can you help
   me with that? Where to find saved backups to delete it??
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fhidden-backups-blocking-space%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

   Thank you for reaching out.Backups from BackWPUp plugin are only stored
   in wp-content/uploads/backwpup and not anywhere else or hidden. You may reach
   out to hosting support so they can assist you in finding hidden files on webspace.
