Hmmm. Suggest you enter the root directly of your hosting space and type:

Code:
du -sb *

... and look at the actual disk usage in your space. The <b> -s </b> flag will do a summary for each subdirectory; the <b> b </b> flag will summarize in bytes. You can try other flags for the <b> du </b> utility by looking at the manpage.

NAME
quota - displays disk usage and limits SYNOPSIS
quota [-agGuUqv] quota [-a] [-g] [groupname] [-qv] quota [-a] [-G] [groupID] [-qv] quota [-a] [-u] [username] [-qv] quota [-a] [-U] [userID] [-qv] OPTIONS
Displays quota information for all mounted file systems: those in the /etc/fstab file and those mounted manually or with automount. The -q option takes precedence over the -a option. When specified without the groupname argument, displays group quotas for groups of which you are a member. Displays group quotas for the group when you specify groupname. When specified without the groupID argument, displays group quotas for groups of which you are a member. Displays group quotas for the group when you specify groupID. Displays only your user quotas (the default) when specified without the username argument. Displays user quotas for the user when you specify username. Displays only your user quotas (the default) when specified without the userID argument. Displays user quotas for the user when you specify userID. Displays information only for file systems that have disk quotas and where usage is over quota. Takes precedence over the -v and -a options. Displays quota information for all mounted file systems that are specified in the /etc/fstab file. Quota information is dis- played for each file system whether or not quotas are enabled for it. The -q option takes precedence over the -v option. DESCRIPTION
The quota command displays disk space usage and limits. Disk quotas are displayed as 1 kilobyte blocks. By default, only your user quotas are displayed. If you use the -g or the -G option without an argument, the quota command displays group quotas for groups of which you are a member. Unless you use the -v option, the quota command reports only on file systems listed in /etc/fstab that have disk quotas and under which you have files. If quota exits with a status of 1, one or more file systems are over quota. If quota exits with a status of 2, there are sys- tem errors. NOTES
The term file system represents either a UFS file system or an AdvFS fileset. Do not use both a user and a group option in the same command. RESTRICTIONS
You must be the root user to use the optional username or userID argument to view information about another user, or to use the optional groupname or groupID argument to view information about a group to which you do not belong. FILES
Contains user quotas for each file system. Contains group quotas for each file system. Contains file system names and locations. SEE ALSO
