Space not reclaimed when files are deleted

Hello,

I have deleted all of my files now, in the attempt to free up space. I still am unable to upload a file since Box thinks most of my space has been consumed already.

Reading the forums I see this is a known problem that can occur, and I understand that I need support to run a script against my account to recalculate the usage totals. Would someone be able to do that for me please?

Many thanks,

Martin

    Hello Martin, 

    I went ahead and ran the script on your account so you should be all set! Counts look good on the backend. 

    Best,

    Hello,

    Same problem here. I deleted some files to clear up space (even emptied the trash bin), but I am still unable to upload more.

    Thanks in advance!

    Best Regards,

    Johannes

    Hey Johannes, 

    I opened up a ticket (#2425725) with our support team on your behalf so they can run the necessary clean up script on your account. They will be in touch shortly :) 

    Best,
