      I recently moved my backups to a remote directory, but not before a couple of backups had been done on the same drive as my app installations, which is resulting in a more disk usage than I want.

      I've looked for the backups in the /var/backups and /var/backups/snapshot directories but the former is empty and the latter doesn't exist.

      Any ideas where else these files might be, or what could be resulting in such a large "Everything Else"

      Cheers.

        @Scardinavia I'd go into the backup tab in the cloudron admin and clean it.

        Change retention to 1 day, then hit cleanup backups button. Change retention back to whatever you need it to after.

          @murgero thanks - I’ve tried this, but it hasn’t worked. I think the issue is that there are a couple of backups left on the original disk that are not being recognized now that I’ve set the backup location to a remote bucket…

          I’ve tried re-setting the location of the backups to the Filesystem and doing a cleanup there too, but nothing has changed… I also ran

          ls -sh /var/backups
          

          and there’s nothing in there.

          I’m quite new to all this, so sorry if I’m overlooking something obvious.

          Cheers

            I think you have to look around the disk with the du command to find the location then. Beware that docker related folders are not reporting the real disk size with du so you can ignore those folders.

              @nebulon As an addon here, you can install ncdu (du command using ncurses) for a more "gui" like interface for it.
