I deleted thousands of pictures but my account is still over quota

Hello, I understand that I'm over the storage limit, but I deleted thousands of pictures recently. Can you check for me how much space was freed up from that? It should've gone down, I don't know why...

Hey fsu1dan, thanks for joining our Community.

Apart from what Mark mentioned, I just wanted to add that shared folders also take space in someone's account, so you might also want to look into that as well.

More info about this can be found here.

If it's not shared folders taking up your space, you can also see the size of your files and calculate the size of your folders, to find the culprit(s).

Let me know if you have more questions!
