# How to view disk space usage in cPanel

To view the disk space usage totals for your account's directories and databases:

1. Log in to cPanel. 2. In the Files section, click **Disk Usage**.![](https://cdn.document360.io/d809f158-d4f4-47ff-83d4-18d9c9f7a04d/Images/Documentation/image-1674089092441.png)

*This page shows you how disk space usage is distributed within your account's home directory. It can be useful when you need to know what is causing you to reach a disk space quota limit.*

1. From here, you can see a breakdown of where the usage is. Clicking the folder names, such as “public_html”, will open this directory in the file manager.
