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.
