You can remove backup files from your DirectAdmin to reduce disk space usage or, in case you are getting an error while generating a backup, such as indicating that the Backup is exceeding the storage limit, it will be useful for you to remove it.
1. Login to your DirectAdmin Account.
2. In the System Info & Files section, click on the File Manager Icon or type File Manager in the navigation filter box and then the option will appear. Click on it.
