Storage quota showing 176 GB used but files + DB are only ~10 GB — MySQL binary logs?

Hey all,

Running into a confusing storage situation on my account and wondering if anyone else has seen this.

My quota shows 176 GB used out of 200 GB, but when I actually audit everything:

Full home directory scan: ~8 GB MySQL database (prediction_analytics): ~1 GB Total visible: ~10 GB That leaves ~166 GB completely unaccounted for. I recently did a large bulk delete (~1.9M rows) followed by OPTIMIZE TABLE, so I suspect MySQL binary logs / InnoDB undo logs built up significantly on the server side.

Has anyone had this happen? Is there a way to get the binary logs purged, or does this need a support request? Would love to understand what's actually eating the quota before I hit the 200 GB limit.

Thanks
