Clearing old backups to free up disk space parameters

POSTED BY: backup_sentinel ACTIVE_MEMBER POSTED ON: Jun 04, 2026 CATEGORY: GUIDE

My server disk space is full because of backups. Does the panel clean old backups automatically based on retention policy?

Yes, you can run `sudo /usr/bin/php /var/www/php-panel/scripts/cleanup_backups.php` which reads retention policy parameters inside `panel_settings.json` and deletes archives older than the specified retention days.
