Where are all the files that cause my Free Confluence to be 1.5 GB over storage limit?

Blair McKellar February 14, 2024

I'm seeing the banner: 

"Action required. You can‘t edit or create new content in Confluence until you upgrade for more storage or delete 1.5 GB GB of files."

My Storage Admin tells me: 

"3.5 GB of 2 GB used"  "1.5 GB over limit"

"You've exceeded the 2 GB storage limit for Confluence Free. You'll need to delete files or upgrade for more storage."

Also:  This data DOES reflect my most current storage usage, because i have not touched anything in the last 4 hours.

My Attachment Manager tells me: 

Attachments 207     /     Attachments size 71 MB    /   Old Version Attachments size 1 MB


My Question: 

Where are all the files that are taking up this space and how can i delete them? 

 

thanks

Hi @Blair McKellar , welcome.

On the space level, everything that you delete ends up in Thrash

Space settings > Manage content > Thrash. 

Pages, attachments, screenshots....

 

On the site level, every space that you delete ends up in Thrash - but a different one :)

Spaces > View all spaces > Thrashed

See my answer here.

 

Ensure that you empty all Spaces' thrashes and also the 'communal' one on the site level.

 

Hope this helps :)

Thanks for your suggestion but this did not resolve our issue.

There is no trash anywhere. 

No recently deleted files. No recently deleted spaces.

Hi @Blair McKellar ,

Welcome to the community !!

Can you check if there is any file in backup manager. That could be consuming the disk.
https://<baseURL>.atlassian.net/wiki/plugins/servlet/ondemandbackupmanager/admin, scroll to end of the page. 

Please note: Backup files are stored in Filestore and automatically deleted after 14 days.

We have never used the backup feature so nothing is in there.
