If you have reached the inode limit of 30,019, you will see an error. If you login to the Control Panel, you can view how many inodes you have used.

To prevent this error, you will need to delete some files and/or folders from your Hosting Account files. This will lower you inode count. We recommend removing unused scripts, temporary files, and other files your website doesn’t need to function, such as old logs or images.

Our inode counter is not updated instantaneously. It can take 10 minutes to 24 hours to update, and during this time, you may still not be able to upload new files or use Softaculous (the autoinstaller).

If you can’t remove any of the content using up all of your inodes, you need to upgrade to premium where you get more inodes (and storage space).
