Introduction

Managing Web Disk accounts includes removing unnecessary or obsolete accounts to maintain organized access control and security. When team members leave, projects end, or access requirements change, deleting unused Web Disk accounts helps prevent unauthorized access while keeping your account list manageable. cPanel’s Web Disk interface provides a secure method for removing additional accounts while preserving the underlying files and directories. This guide explains how to delete Web Disk accounts using the Files > Web Disk section in cPanel.

Prerequisites

  • Access to cPanel with the necessary permissions.
  • Existing Additional Web Disk Account you wish to delete.

 

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Log in to cPanel

Access and log in to your cPanel account using your username and password.

 

Step 2: Access Web Disk

Under the Files section, click Web Disk. You will see your main Web Disk account and a list of additional accounts when you scroll down.

 

Step 3: Delete Additional Web Disk Account

Locate the Web Disk account you wish to delete, and click Delete. You will be prompted again for confirmation, click Delete Web Disk Account.

Note: Deleting the account does not delete the files within the assigned directory. The files will remain on the server, but the account used to access them will be gone.

You can verify that the account has been deleted by referring to the list of existing accounts.

 

Conclusion

Deleting Web Disk accounts through cPanel’s Web Disk interface is a straightforward process that helps maintain secure and organized file access management. The deletion process removes account credentials while preserving server files, ensuring proper access control without data loss.
