The konsoleH Disk Cleanup Tool allows you to manage your disk usage effectively by specifying rules for clearing out email in the trash and spam folders of mailboxes as well as cleaning up web logfiles at set intervals. These rules can be specified at Domain, Server or Client Level (in order of preference).

The rules that are specified are applied during a nightly disk cleanup process, so settings do not take immediate effect. However, if you wish to initiate a cleanup immediately, specify the intervals and then click ‘Clean Now’.


Setup Domain or Server level Disk Cleanup rules in konsoleH:

  1. Browse to konsoleH ( http://myaccount.hetzner.co.za)
  2. Login with your Client number and Management password
  3. Select or search for a domain name or server name in the ‘Hosting Service’ tab
  4. Click ‘Manage Services’ from the left-hand menu
  5. Select ‘Disk Cleanup’ under Services
  6. Click ‘Enable Custom Rules’ to specify rules
  7. You will now be able to select how long spam, trash mail and web logs should be kept under the selected level
  8. Should you wish to setup rules at client level (ie. for all your domains), then select the Account Admin tab (top right of the control panel) and select ‘Maintenance’ from the left-hand menu. Select Disk Cleanup under ‘Maintenance’.
  • If no rules have been specified for a domain at any level, the mail in the spam and trash folders will be kept for 14 days and the web logs will never be deleted by default.
  • Checking your disk usage on a regular basis is recommended to ensure you are within your quota at all times. It is important to manage disk usage effectively to ensure that you don’t incur unnecessary overusage charges.
