Could you try clicking on deleted backups and permanently delete any files or folders that might come up Nate_Fzt ?
This should help get your space back.

Thank you so much ! Indeed, it was my deleted computer save that was taking all my storage !
- anonymous2 years agoI have the same issue. I clicked on deleted backups and permanently deleted all unnecessary files and folders. Yet, no change in storage capacity. I also read that is takes 8 hours for the system to recycle. However, it’s going day 2. Any ideas?
