Managing FTP Files and Storage in your Account

Managing files in your FTP is crucial for efficiency and prevents reaching quota. Follow our recommended file infrastructure set-up here. To view your account’s quotas, follow this guide.

Recommended Practices:

1. Use an FTP client like FileZilla to login and delete files/folders. FileZIlla has the ability to search on files in folders with different search criteria.
   • Press F3 on your keyboard (or go to the Server tab). You can then enter the criteria to delete files in bulk (see example below):
     
2. You can configure automatic clean-up for mail after a specified number of days using the “Delete mail after ___ days” option on the Setup tab or per individual mail.
   • your mail will be cleaned immediately upon saving and then cleaned again when specified in your settings.
3. Delete individual files or whole folders that are no longer needed from the Files tab
