cPanel Cleanup & Space Recovery

My hosting account is running out of room and I need an experienced hand to tidy it up directly inside cPanel. The priorities are clear: delete unused media files, remove old backups that are just eating space, and get rid of any plugins or themes that are sitting idle.

Because I’m not 100 % certain which items are still critical, I’ll rely on you to audit first, flag anything that looks uncertain, and confirm with me before it gets binned. I have no current backup, so the very first step is to create a full, restorable archive of the site and database—either through cPanel’s Backup Wizard, via SSH (tar / mysqldump), or whatever method you prefer.

Once the backup is secured, proceed with the cleanup and then verify that the site loads and all key functions still work.

Deliverables
• Fresh full-site backup stored off-server (download link or cloud folder)
• Cleaned file system with unused media, old backups, and dormant plugins/themes removed
• Short report outlining actions taken, space recovered, and any recommendations for keeping usage low

If you’re comfortable working inside cPanel / WHM, navigating WordPress or similar CMS directories, and double-checking dependencies before you hit delete, let’s get this sorted quickly.
