Guys, I just found over 42GB of disk space being consumed by /var/webmin/diffs. I don't what that is, can I safely remove those sub-directories and files to reclaim that space?
Below is a sample of some of the directories listed. Each of those have subdirectories and then contain files named as numbers (0, 1, etc).
drwx------ 57 root root 4096 Nov 18 21:00 14478
drwx------ 58 root root 4096 Nov 20 01:00 14479
drwx------ 25 root root 4096 Nov 20 12:30 14480
drwx------ 59 root root 4096 Dec 17 19:30 14503
drwx------ 58 root root 4096 Dec 18 23:30 14504
drwx------ 53 root root 4096 Dec 20 03:00 14505
drwx------ 58 root root 4096 Dec 21 07:00 14506
drwx------ 57 root root 4096 Dec 22 10:30 14507
drwx------ 58 root root 4096 Dec 23 14:30 14508
drwx------ 58 root root 4096 Dec 24 18:30 14509
Thanks!

These are logs of file changes made by Virtualmin, which can be viewed at Webmin -> Webmin Actions Log. However, you can safely delete them (or turn them off completely, at Webmin -> Webmin Configuration -> Logging).

Perfect! I see they can be auto-deleted so I just enabled that so we have some logs. Can I make this change from Cloudmin to update all my virtualmin sites?
Also, absolutely love the new theme look!! It rocks! Great job guys!

No, you can't make this a mass change from Cloudmin, sorry..

Can push this to be a cloudmin feature request? Or should I open a separate ticket? Thanks!

Since there are so many possible Webmin settings, I don't think it makes sense to support editing all of them from Cloudmin.
