Can't upload files due to "insufficient space"

I have used 23gb of 1tb storage, but am not allowed to upload a 35gb folder because there isn't "enough free space." What am I missing?

    Are you sure it's not your local hard drive that's out of space? What is the exact message you're receiving.

    Thank you, Rich R.

    I've unlinked the files, and can now upload what I want.

Rich,

Here's the exact message: The item “Craig slide scans” can’t be copied because there isn’t enough free space.
