I had a similar issue. Was using DB for a PTF file share years ago. Started using it again recently. I added very few files and got a message I was at capacity. I deleted a TON of files and it still says I'm at capacity. Not sure how that can be true......

Hi MIchelle McM, welcome to our Community!
Could you have a look at what was mentioned in this thread, and specifically what our Community Manager mentioned?
