Windows 10: OneDrive storage still frozen after freeing space....12hours

Is it possible to unfroze my onedrive....

:)

 

Effective Onedrive free storage space

I understand that each Onedrive account has free 5 g storage space.

For each file stored in Onedrive, when editing is done, Onedrive will create a "File History" for that file.

Also, if a file is deleted, it will go to the "Recycle bin"

My question is that would the files in "File History" and files in the "Recycle bin" counted towards the 5 g storage space?

If they are counted towards the 5 g, then the actual effective storage will be less than 5 g.

Is it possible then to disable the creation of "File History" so as to maximize the storage space?

Thanks in advance

Cent.

 

free up space in onedrive

OneDrive is using up most of the storage on my HDD and I'd like to change that. I've already done "free up space" in the OneDrive app and that didn't do anything. I uninstalled the OneDrive app, but it still left the OneDrive folder on the pc and I no longer had the OneDrive menu options when I right click on the folder. I downloaded the OneDrive app again, went into the settings and stopped the file sync to the PC, also chose Quit OneDrive, but it doesn't free up the disk space. How can I free up the disk space on my HDD?

Hi Jay,

If a category can't show the folders that it contains, there is a possibility that the folders are somehow hidden. To maximize your PC's storage, follow the suggested steps in these links:
