Find oversized files and stale backups

A background scan walks /home and flags files in three categories, then gives you an interactive table to act on them — with a silence list for the known-good ones.

Runaway error_log / debug.log files, any file over a size you set, and leftover WordPress backups
Recognises Updraft, Backuply, Bividbackups and Duplicator Pro backup patterns
Move a file to the account's cPanel trash, or delete it — single or in bulk, always confirmed
Silence a known-good file for up to 180 days so it stops nagging you

Schedule it, auto-clean by policy, report

Run it once a day on the weekdays you choose, optionally auto-delete by category and age, and email the report to the channels you already use.

Once-a-day schedule on the weekdays you pick
Per-category auto-delete: never, older-than-N-days, or immediately (with an explicit opt-in)
Hardened file actions: paths re-validated, no symlink or ".." escape, run with the account's privileges
HTML report by email, with run history you can re-send or download

Huge File Check — questions

Three configurable categories: error_log/debug.log files over 50 MB, any file over 500 MB, and files matching WordPress-backup name patterns. A minimum size floor (default 20 MB) keeps small files out entirely.

Deletion is permanent, so it's opt-in per category and guarded: only files flagged by the latest run can be acted on, paths are re-validated against symlink and ".." escapes, and the unlink runs with the owning account's privileges. Silenced files are never auto-deleted.

No. The walk is a single streamed find command with excluded directories pruned, so memory stays flat even on very large /home trees, and only one scan runs at a time.

Yes. Silence it for up to 180 days (with an optional note); it's excluded from reports and auto-deletion until the silence expires, then flagged again.
