DirectAdmin User too large delete on background - Methods to resolve this error
This article covers method to fix the error, DirectAdmin: User too large delete on background. Basically, this error occurs when the sum of the disk usage of any user exceeds a certain threshold.
To prevent time-outs in your browser when deleting excessively large accounts, DirectAdmin will execute the deletion by adding the command to the background’s task.queue, instead of performing the execution on the foreground.
To fix DirectAdmin: User too large delete on background error, you can connect to the server through SSH using root access, then go to DirectAdmin's installed directory as below:
cd /usr/local/directadmin/conf/
Then edit the directadmin.conf file in the directory by running
vi directadmin.conf
If the variable "get_background_delete_size" value exists in the directadmin.conf file, it will be set to 10 GB by default (get_background_delete_size=10240).
If the variable cannot be found in the file, simply add it in.
You can modify the value of 10240 to define the value that you wish to set.
