You can remove a backup file 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 Systems 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.

   

3. Open the Backups folder, hover your mouse over your newly generated backup file and it will display a context menu.

   

4. Click on Delete and the file will be removed.

Congratulations! You have successfully removed the backup file.
