How to prepare for outages in OneDrive storage space

<>

In the month of July, exactly on the 13th, the storage space in OneDrive will go down for many users from 15GB to 5GB. Al mismo tiempo, para aquellos con una subscription a Office 365, verán el espacio reducido de ilimitado a 1TB.

For this reason we are going to share with you Some steps to help you reduce the used space you have in your Microsoft OneDrive account, a service that works really well and ranks as one of the best at the moment. Therefore, let us know those tips that will be useful to you.

First step: "Manage storage"

We'll go to "Manage storage" and there we find a total summary of the space we have available and the one used. If that used space does not exceed 5GB you should not worry, even though it is always good to know what files we have that take up too much storage that we could use for other purposes.

Second step: «What is taking up space?

In the storage administration we find an interesting link called "What is taking up space?". If we press it, we go to a space where we can find the files that take up the most space in our OneDrive account and it will help us choose which ones we want to delete to free up space.

We will quickly see which files take up the most space, so we will delete them if we see it as consistent.

Step 3: Delete the recycle bin

Right next to "What's taking up space?" You can find the recycle bin that, if it has files, you can delete it permanently. This container is the same as on your computer. When you delete a file this will go to the trash that later you will have to eliminate in addition.

As always, you can buy more space if you find that you don't want to delete any files; for € 2 per month you can buy 50GB.
