Hi, I have exceeded the allocated space but after I deleted quite a number of files to free up the space, the used space still not correctly updated. Now I am unable to upload any file to Box anymore. Please resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you.

Hello there,

I've got the same problem, I deleted some files but if I calculate the size of all files I got uploaded, it shouldn't take so much space.

Please help!

Thank you

Hi Everyone, 

Welcome to the Box Community and thanks for reaching out!

I've gone ahead and ran a script that will recount all of the files and how much storage is being used in your Box.  Sometimes Box caches previous file counts and storage amounts causing a data inconsistency:

You should see the correct storage size available in your account. Please let me know if need additional help.
