Clarification Storage Quota Full but no changes after deletion of files.

Hello,

 

I am having an issue many seem to be having where my quota storage is full, but not matter how many files/folders I delete (whether that's team shared, shared with me, or personal) nothing seems to change quota storage overall, while my other storage indicator under my profile says I have deleted files. I've attached two screenshots here, but hopefully someone can clarify how I can regain my quota space back. I'd prefer not to go from paying $600/yr to $1,000 for the upgraded business plan. Thank you

  • I just logged in after sleeping on this. Haha you are right. And I just found in the admin console where it says, the quota refreshes every 8 hours. Seems crazy it takes that long to update your usage.
