Hi.
Recently I tried sending emails using my outlook mail.
I have been getting messages, “your storage is full”.
“You cannot send new mail or receive mails using Outlook”.
“You must free-up your storage.”
I have been deleting files, attachments, messages, looking on Youtube
getting advice how to reduce my storage, but I still get the same message.
There is a red Dot next to my files indicating this file is to large.
Outlook is telling me to buy more storage. But I would rather use
outlook to clean-up storage.
Can someone please help me. Now I am using gmail to send messages.
I am not receiving new emails from Outlook.
I am staying in Central Pattaya.

Thanks
Tom

Microsoft one drive has a limit. Pay for more storage or delete your old emails and attachments.

And don't forget that after deleting emails, you should empty your email trash bin as well as messages in the trash bin will likely still count as part of your storage quota.

Maybe you're only deleting offline, not online.

Login at outlook.live.com and delete there and, as Neverna says, don't forget to delete your trash.

If there are oft repeated emails from the same address that you know are no longer required, search for them and bulk delete them.
