Hello,

just saw that my box is almost full (48/50 GB) so I deleted almost everything no needed at the moment. I should free up some space. I emptied recycle but still showing 48/50GB taken by files. Any ideas?

Hi Jim,

Welcome to the Box Community!

I have run a script that will recount all of the files and how much storage is being used in your account. Sometimes Box caches previous file counts and storage amounts causing a data inconsistency. This is a known issue and is a long term project for our engineering team to tackle.

Thank you for posting!

Best,
Ann
