Hello @damuz,
I’m going to setup a test droplet to see if I can reproduce the situation and determine why increasing the Droplet’s disk space isn’t working. I’ll provide another response shortly.
In the meantime, the following cPanel Knowledge Base article demonstrates how to clean up unmanaged log files on cPanel & WHM:

Thank you.
Hello @damuz,
I was able to successfully resize a cPanel & WHM Droplet using the instructions at:
https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/droplets/how-to/resize/#resizing-via-the-control-panel
Can you confirm if this works?
Thank you.
hi, i managed to resize the droplet after deleting some files and cleared up 100MB++ from the server. Server is up and running now. thanks much
