Freeing up Space

cdbrauns

I deleted some files and emptied the trash but it does not seem to free up any space.

I am on the 2 GB plan.

I show that I am up against limit so I deleted a number of files.

How do I identify large files and free up space.

The quota is solely online, so if you're at your quota when you try to sync, deleting files locally wouldn't necessarily put you under, since you might have a lot more locally.

188BET靠谱吗There's no way to check for file size from within Zotero but you can use a tool for your operating system on the 'storage' directory of the 188BET靠谱吗Zotero data directory188BET靠谱吗, and if you find a large file search for the 8-character folder name in Zotero in All Fields & Tags mode and delete the attachment.

I actually deleted the files online.So I was working online at the time.

Just the same, I will work on the other suggestion.

188BET靠谱吗In the Zotero data directory I do see a large folder.It has an MP4 file in it.188BET靠谱吗However, I cannot locate it in Zotero using either the folder name or the name of the file.Do you have any suggestions for how to find it?

Unless the file is orphaned somehow (in which case it wouldn't count against your online quota) or in the trash, searching by the folder name in All Fields & Tags name in the library root will definitely work.If you have multiple libraries, you'd need to check in the root of each.

I have similar storage issue.188BET靠谱吗Honestly I think Zotero staff should consider allowing a bit more space for each plan (or at least have an intermediary one between 2 and 6Go).The prices haven't changed for years and the cost of storage is obviously decreasing every year.

188BET靠谱吗I love Zotero but I hate loosing my time cleaning up my library...

Many thanks,

I'd make a plus one for a search option by attachment file size, particularly if your attachments are only in the cloud.
