Checking and Clearing One Drive Storage

1. In the bottom right-hand corner of your main monitor, you should have One Drive's cloud icon. Click it to open the One Drive menu and at the bottom, choose to View Online.

2. In the browser window it opens, the top-right corner displays several icons, including your profile picture. Choose the GEAR icon to select OneDrive settings.

3. Next, choose More Settings on the left and Storage Metrics from the options available. It is under "Features and storage."

Storage Metrics will give you a clear overview of what is in your OneDrive, how much space is left in it, and what is taking up the most data. Deleting files from here will send the files to the recycling bin. Deleting it from the recycling bin will free up space on your OneDrive. (To Empty Recycle Bin, go back to step 1 and choose "Recycle Bin" instead of View Online)

4. Sometimes your files will have a "Version History" to the far right. Even if you want to keep a file, checking the version history can be very helpful. For every version of a file that exists, it doubles in size. 

5. Choose to "Delete All Versions" to free up space. THIS WILL NOT DELETE YOUR MOST RECENT VERSION. This is very helpful so you only have the most recent copy available on OneDrive.
