# Disk Health: Find What Fills Your Disk and Free Space Safely

> The Disk Health is the server disk space cleanup agent in the Ai1 platform by MyZone AI: started by the Concierge, it reports what is filling your Ai1 server's disk biggest first, then clears only the items you approve, checking each one again and sending anything that is not a rebuildable cache to the trash first.

More disk space, cleared only from items you approve.

## At a glance

- **How it starts:** You ask the Concierge, and the Concierge starts Disk Health
- **The report:** Read-only, biggest first, with each item's size, risk and a recommendation
- **What qualifies:** Only items rebuilt automatically, kept in version control or confirmed unused
- **Clearing:** Only approved items, each checked again at the moment of action
- **A way back:** Files that are not caches go to the trash and can be restored for 30 days
- **Never touched:** Databases, live application data, source code, documents, uploads and public downloads

## What the Disk Health does

- **Shows what is using space:** Measures disk use and sorts it biggest first, with each item's size, risk and a recommendation. Nothing is moved or deleted at this stage.
- **Keeps only safe items in scope:** An item qualifies only if it is rebuilt automatically, already kept in version control or confirmed unused. If that cannot be proved, it is left alone.
- **Clears only what you approved:** Each approved item is checked again at the moment of action, so an old report is never trusted for today's clean up.
- **Uses the gentlest method that works:** Rebuildable caches are deleted. Everything else goes to the platform trash, a safe file cleanup that can be undone for 30 days.
- **Restores from the trash:** Puts a trashed item back exactly where it was, any time within 30 days.
- **Remembers your server's quirks:** Keeps notes on false alarms and on items you said no to, so the same suggestion is not repeated.

## How the Disk Health differs from a cleanup script

A cleanup script deletes whatever matches its rules, even a file still in use or one that cannot be rebuilt. Disk Health gives you a read-only report first, keeps only provably safe items in scope and clears only what you approve, checking each item again at the moment of action. Caches are deleted, other files go to the trash for 30 days, and databases, documents and source code are never touched.

How this differs from the Server Health (https://myzone.ai/pages/agents/ai-server-health-agent): Server Health runs health checkups and incident reports from system statistics, while Disk Health finds what fills the disk and clears only the items you approve.

## How it works

1. **Ask** (Whenever you ask the Concierge): You ask the Concierge about disk space, and the Concierge starts Disk Health for that job.
2. **Analyse** (Before anything changes): Disk Health measures and reports what is using space. Nothing changes.
3. **You choose** (you approve) (After the report): You approve the items to clear, in chat. Anything you do not pick stays as it is.
4. **Clear** (Right after your approval): Only the approved items are cleared, and each one is checked again first.
5. **Report** (As soon as the clean up ends): You see what was cleared and what was skipped.

## When to use it

- **The disk is almost full and you want to know why:** You get a disk usage report on the Disk Health tab listing each item with its size, risk and recommendation. Nothing is moved or deleted.
- **You have picked the items to clear:** Those items are checked again and cleared to free up disk space, and everything else stays exactly as it is.
- **Something that was cleared turns out to be needed:** It puts the item back from the trash to exactly where it was, as long as you ask within 30 days.
- **Nothing needs clearing:** It tells you the disk is healthy. That is a good report, not a missed problem.

## What you get

- A read-only report of disk use, biggest items first
- Each item's size, risk and a recommendation in plain words
- A clean up of only the items you approved, each checked again first
- A summary of what was cleared and what was skipped
- Restores from the trash for up to 30 days

## Example: Disk report and approved clean up

Example with a fictional company. Names, people and figures are invented to show the agent's output. Any resemblance to a real company or person is unintended.

What it was asked: The server says the disk is almost full: tell us what is using it, then clear only what is safe and what we approve.

A sample Disk Health report for a fictional studio in the agent's usual structure: a read only analysis (measure, sort biggest first, size, risk and a recommendation per item), the items that need the owner's judgment, and the clean up after the owner approved items in chat with the Concierge. All figures are invented; no real server or client files were read. Studio files, databases, source code, unsaved work and public downloads are never in scope, and one approved item was skipped, not worked around, when its re-check failed. Run date: 1 October 2026.

### What it found

- The disk was 92% full, and about 34 GB could go safely: old website builds, coding assistant snapshots, a package cache, one stale proof folder and finished session notes.
- The owner approved five items in chat; three caches were deleted, one folder went to the trash for 30 days, and one was skipped because a reopened session was using it.
- Disk use fell from 92% to 77%, while 12.6 GB of old client gallery downloads, still public by link, were flagged for the owner and left untouched.

## Guardrails

- It acts only on items you approved in chat, and checks each one again at the moment of action.
- Databases and their storage, live application data, source code, anything with unsaved work, documents, uploads, public downloads and your own tool installs are never touched.
- Rebuildable caches are deleted; other files go to the trash first and can be restored for 30 days.
- If the server refuses an action, it stops for that run and reports it. It never works around a refusal.
- You do not talk to it directly. The Concierge starts it, one job at a time.

## Frequently asked questions

### How can I free up disk space on a business server without risking data?

Start with items that are safe to remove: ones rebuilt automatically, already kept in version control or confirmed unused. In Ai1 by MyZone AI, Disk Health reports these biggest first and clears only the items you approve. Some things are always left alone: databases and their storage, live application data, source code, anything with unsaved work, documents, uploads, public downloads and your own tool installs.

### What should a disk usage report tell a business owner?

What is using space, biggest first, with each item's size, how risky it is to remove and a recommendation in plain words. Disk Health's report is read-only: nothing is moved or deleted until you approve items in chat with the Concierge. Disk Health is available now on the Ai1 server it runs on, and the Concierge starts it. You don't talk to it directly: ask the Concierge.

### What makes a server file cleanup safe to undo?

Using the gentlest method that works. Disk Health deletes only rebuildable caches, which are recreated automatically, and only items you approved. Other files go to the platform trash first and can be put back exactly where they were within 30 days.

### What if the server blocks a clean up step, and why are items checked again?

It stops for that run and tells you what happened. It never looks for a way around the refusal. A disk changes over time, so an earlier report is never trusted for today's clean up. Each approved item is checked again at the moment of action.
