How can I reclaim the space that isn't being used after deleting files and folders?
Question
space not reclaimed after deleating files.
Hi Neeta,
Welcome to the Box Community! I'm happy to help.
I ran a script to fix the file size count in your used storage and should be seeing the right file size count.
You can check this by going to your Box console> Account Settings>Account> Account Details> Storage ( used/total).
You can also check this article from our Box Support page about "Storage".
Box Support is able to run a script for specific end-users’ accounts to fix the data inaccuracy issues around user storage size, folder size, and file counts. Please note that while the issue may be fixed, we are unable to guarantee that the account will not be affected by the issue again - particularly for users with massive amounts of content.
Best,
This always happens to me. If I delete a large amount of data or files, space is not claimed back.
My account is not specially big so I don't understand why this happens.
