"Used" storage 2x of files in folder

[scottonian]

I've got about 1,110 photos in my "Creative Cloud Files" folder on my PC that take up about 8GB on my hard drive. When I look at my Creative Cloud Assets, it shows that about 16GB is being used. I can only think there are duplicate files I can't see somewhere. How do I free up this extra space?

Hi,

Are you able to see items in the Archive in the browser at Adobe Creative Cloud

File deletion is a two-stage process (think the Trash on Mac OS or the Recycle Bin on Windows). Deleting files in the Creative Cloud Files folder on your computer moves them to the Archive. From the Archive you can restore or permanently delete items.

This doc has instructions for how to empty the Archive (permanently delete the online files) if needed:
