Question

I can't locate files taking up plan storage (files have ben deleted out of trash on CC cloud)

Hello,

I use Photoshop Photog plan with 21GB. I have removed as many files as I can that I think would be taking up my storage quota. All I have left are some CSV files and a handful of jpgs. CC says I'm using 21.5GB out of 21. How is that possible? There must be some files hidden that I can't access somewhere. Anyone have any ideas?

As I wrote in the subject, I did go to the deleted folder on CC web (trash) and I perm deleted those files. Over the years with this plan I have moved between multiple Windows PC's and Macs. I'm back on Mac. Not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Thanks.

how much lightroom and lightroom deleted files storage are you using?

reset the cc desktop app by making sure it's in the foreground, then press:

Win: Ctrl + Alt + R
Mac: Cmd + Opt + R


if that fails to update your storage,  disable the photoshop presets feature as described here (chose NO when asked to keep the data in the cloud): https://helpx.adobe.com/ie/photoshop/using/sync-presets.html

 

then go to your cc web site by opening cc desktop app>clicking cloud icon>cc web and check all 8 folders (4 in your files, 2 in shared with you, 1 in shared with you, 1 in deleted).

 

note: if you delete from your sync folder, your local files will be deleted, too. this is the only folder that affects your locally stored files.

 

click the lightroom link at bottom left of your cc web page and delete files from there.

 

lastly, recheck your deleted folder again and delete whatever is there.
