    Hi, I want to be able to configure storage sense on multiple computers but I don't want to have cloud backed up content to be deleted on my them. So if I have the local available cloud content to be configured to "Never", would it disregard removing unused cloud-backed content from the computer each time Storage Sense runs? By "removing" does it mean the content will be deleted or converted to an online-only file? I don't want to have the users to keep having to configure particular files to be "Always keep on this device" after a certain amount of days considering they have a LOT of files to

  2. How to disable Storage Sense questions about locally available cloud content

    I have turned on Storage Sense with the purpose of cleaning up temporary folders and the Download folder. However, I do not want Storage Sense to delete locally available cloud content and thereby I configured the "Content will become online-only if not
    opened for more than:" setting to Never.

    However, I am consistently getting a notification from Storage Sense: "Help Storage Sense clean more. Enable the removal of unused local cloud-backed content from your device. Click here to learn more." I thought I already told Storage Sense to not to delete
    this content, yet it is persistently asking for enabling.

  3. Storage Sense

    Hello Microsoft Community,

    I enabled Storage Sense on my Windows 10 PC to automatically free up space on my computer. However, I just got a notification that Storage Sense needs to be enabled by "removing unused cloud-backed content on your PC", but Storage Sense is already enabled.
    How can I set Storage Sense to clean my PC every week? And what is "unused cloud-backed content"?

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Thanks.

    How to disable notification "Help Storage Sense clean more"

    My OneDrive folder is set to "Always keep on this device". Several times a day I am getting this notification: "Help Storage Sense clean more. Enable the removal of unused local cloud-backed content from your device."

    No, I don't want to do that. I want my content to always be available even if I'm offline or my subscription lapses. I don't ever want Microsoft to delete my files from my devices.

    How do I disable these notifications? Storage Sense isn't listed in the "Get notifications from these senders" section of the Notifications & Actions settings. I don't want to turn off all notifications.

    Thank you!
