Your hosting disk space usage is the total sum of all data in your account including websites files, MySQL databases and e-mail messages.
cPanel will automatically send disk space warnings to your e-mail address once you have reached 80%, 90%, 98% and 100% disk usage. You can update your contact e-mail address in cPanel under the Preferences section.

Login to your cPanel and on the right hand side, you will see a short summary of your Disk Space Usage.
Step 2 — Checking Disk Space Usage statistics
Full details of your Disk Space Usage can be found by clicking on Disk Usage button under Files section of your cPanel.

In order to remove unwanted files, click on the desired folder and File Manager will be opened in your browser.
