Note: You should not set a quota for any user that is not listed 

unless you supply the  a option to quotactl. Adding a quota to any of 

these users (such as root, daemon, etc) may cause undesired 

functionality on your VPS server, and will not be supported. 

Removing User Quotas

You can remove a user account quota at any time by using the quotactl 

command from the command prompt. As an example, the following dialog shows 

the removal of the user account quota for "rusty":

> quotactl  d  u rusty

When you choose to delete a user's quota, there will be no limit to the disk space 

that that user can use on your VPS server.
