      So I changed backups to an external provider but it would seem space is still taken up by the Cloudron backups on disk. How do I remove these?

        @axbom The default location is /var/backups . Maybe that's where the old backups are at.

          @axbom there may be a better way by now, but last time I had to do this I ssh'd into the server and removed them that way

          (this is one of the few/ only times I've ever had to ssh into the server for anything since using Cloudron, so if this is still the only way to do it, it'd be great if something could be added to the UI).

          I use Cloudron with Gandi & Hetzner

            @jdaviescoates Thanks. Weird thing is I now can't seem to find them when I'm using the terminal... very frustrating. The /mnt/cloudronbackup folder looks empty. Where else would they be...

                @girish Ah, thank you. Found them. That freed up 22GB for me 😅
