I see some very large files and I want to know if I can delete them.

I originally made this thread “viewtopic.php?t=14416 (How to do server cleanup by getting more space?)” anyway running the command in PuTTY has been very helpful in finding what is taking up so much room and I have removed them.

In PuTTY I run the script and I remove backups, error logs from months ago including domain names that I have since deleted then I see this “/var/lib/fail2ban/fail2ban.sqlite3: 5.7G”. This particular file or whatever this is is 5.7 G, I wanna know if it is safe for me to remove “fail2ban.sqlite3”.

You can even delete this file, because it will be created again.

Before deleting the file, stop the fail2ban service.
