I have 15 gb remaining in my Adobe cloud account.  I have permanently deleted old files.  I have plenty of storage according to creative cloud lightroom cloud storage.  Why is Express not letting me work stating that I am out of storage?  How do I fix this?

    Something another user has experienced and had to do: 
    Erase any unwanted AI generated images and videos: this freed up a bunch of space as well.

    Hi ​@CLPSRQ,

    I’m going to have you try a couple of things, just to see if any of them work - it’s great that you’ve worked on permanently deleting older files. 

    Just in case you need it, here’s how to confirm you’ve permanently deleted old files: 

    Note: You must navigate to https://assets.adobe.com/deleted to manage your storage and permanently delete assets.

     
    You can follow these steps to manage your storage:
    1. Navigate to https://assets.adobe.com/deleted
    2. Go to Files > Deleted
    3. Click … on any asset
    4. Click “Permanently Delete”
    5. Confirm that you want to permanently delete the asset

    And then, once you’ve done that, here’s a step-by-step guide to help you troubleshoot and resolve this problem:

    • Try clearing your browser cache or app cache (if you're using the mobile version), then log back into Adobe Express and check again.
    • Check other folders in Creative Cloud like "Assets" or "Libraries" for any lingering content.
    • Log out of Adobe Express and Creative Cloud, then log back in. This can refresh your storage data and resolve discrepancies between reported and actual usage.
    • If you're using Creative Cloud on multiple devices, try disconnecting one or more devices to see if that frees up some storage space.

    Let me know if this works for you!

    Rose,  thanks for helping, so far I have verified deletion as previously stated, signed out on all devices and signed back in.  My phone shows its still syncing photos how long should I let it sync as it appears stuck.  My creative cloud storage has not changed, it shows I have used 25% of the 20gb.   I know you are not responsible for the engineering on this but the Adobe Cloud system / environment has never really worked and is constantly buggy.  I avoid using any Adobe products on line because of this.  I needed to used Express but currently can’t so I will have to go to another product again.
