# How to View Disk Usage in cPanel

Want to know what is taking up space on your server? Luckily, your cPanel includes a tool for easily reviewing disk usage. In this tutorial, we will show you how to **view disk usage** in cPanel. This can help you locate and remove old, unwanted files and save disk space.

Note that cPanel creation is no longer unlimited. For more information, please see [cPanel Pricing Changes](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/edu/cpanel/cpanel-pricing-structure/). You can see the pricing that now applies to cPanel licenses. To learn more about the change, please see our [FAQ on cPanel Pricing]( https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/edu/cpanel-edu/cpanel-pricing-changes-faq).
