    Thanks for the screenshot, GedC.

     

    Your space should be freed up on our site immediately after removing your access from the folders.

     

    Can you please check if there are still any folders in your "Shared" tab here?

     

    And you can use the steps here to remove your access from the folders.

Hi Megan

 

Photo attached to show what I see on the plan page

Most of my plan is taken up with shared files although I had been deleting the original folders

I have deleted quite a lot of these at the weekend.......I looked for additional info and it was suggested they could be held in the cache......will that automatically clear itself out?I read somewhere that it would after 3 days.
