My storage usage is not full as claimed! This is now needed on my account:

Box Support is able to run a script for specific end-users’ accounts as an attempt to fix the data inaccuracy issues around user storage size, folder size, and item counts.

Please note that this script is run manually and as a one time courtesy.  Subsequent requests for this script to be run are approved on a case by case basis.

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. 

If you'd like to request this script to be run, please contact Box Support

Hi Todd,

Welcome to the Box Community, I'm happy to help!

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.

Let me know if you have questions!

Best,
Ann
