    OneDrive reducing to free storage limit.


    I had a OneDrive only subscription but it became difficult to use where I am in Mainland China, so subscribed with a local cloud backup, but I still have OD on three of my devices, and on one it is showing the grey cloud with a line through it. I tried to log in but when I tried to log in the screen went blank. I'd like to use it still in its free limit.I got an email saying that I'm over the storage limit, and currently OD is delinked from my desktop, and I guess I should try to delete the files in it so that it meets the 5 GB limit, but how to do that?Thanks.

    :)

    OneDrive storage limit questions

    I am suddenly receiving a message that I have exceeded my OneDrive storage limit. My current plan shows as 15 GB, and my storage shows 49.2 GB used of 30 GB. Two questions...

    1. Why am I getting this warning all of a sudden? I have not added any new files to my OneDrive, so I've almost certainly been over the 30GB limit for a long time. So, why now?

    2. The only option I can find to add more storage is $1.99/month for 50 GB. I am obviously going to need more than 50 GB. Is 50 GB the maximum storage I can get?

    Thanks!

    OneDrive reducing to free storage limit.

    Windows 10 - OneDrive

    Right click on the app and one of the properties has an option to not automatically start it. Uncheck, restart the computer, and it should stop. If you want to go another step further, find the OneDrive app in the start menu, right click on it and uninstall.

    If that is still insufficient, there is a batch uninstaller for OneDrive available online. I can copy the code here if you need it.
