Permanently deleting files from my account has not resulted in a change to my available space. I understand there is a script that can be run to facilitate the cleanup on my account? Please help? Thanks!

It seems as if when I select multiple files and delete the bunch of them, the totals do not get adjusted. If I delete one file at a time the totals adjust as they should.

I believe I may have deleted several bunches of files after you cleaned up my storage. If you wouldn't mind, please run it one more time so I can see where I'm at and I'll be mindful of how I delete files going forward. Thank you for your help!
