I only need help with the following folders and file. I do not know what I can safely delete. I've figured out the other files and deleted many of them.

Can "tpgames.net-bytes_log" be deleted with cPanel making a new log file? Can I delete any of the contents inside this file?

webalizer folder: Can "dns_cache.db" be deleted without messing up anything? Will cPanel create a new one automatically?
Thanks!  grin

It's what you do when you are a webmaster. LOL
Or what people do to my head, after I make a big mistake!

If you login with ssh, you can clear the contents of the file with a command like 'echo > tpgames.net-bytes_log'. In general, these files shouldn't be that big though? How many mb's are they?

I deleted the entire folders by hand. Webalizer and Awstats were taking up 70% of my website space. I completely deleted their folders and solved the problem. I forget which one was the worst, but one of them was extremely worse then that other.
The problem is that they do detailed analysis and report it on a daily basis. If you do not configure it right so that if gives you only a lite reporting, it will bloat your site.

Unfortunately, I forgot to bookmark this request and so did not remember to come back here. Sorry about the delay in posting.
Thanks! Bye! Case closed on my end.
