Delete files permanently from cloud storage

Out of storage space? Learn about our 30-day retention period for deleted files and how to remove unused files and assets to free up your cloud storage space. 

Why should I delete files permanently from cloud storage?

When you reach the  maximum number of files or folders  that can be stored in your Creative Cloud account,  you may get an error preventing you from adding new items in your cloud storage. To fix this issue, permanently delete any files and folders you don't need and free up your storage space.

30-day retention period for deleted files

We are changing how we process deleted files and folders to improve your Creative Cloud storage quota. Beginning June 4, 2023, we will start rolling out a new removal process for files in your Creative Cloud Deleted folder. Once implemented, deleted files will be permanently removed after 30 days. Any files older than 30 days already there in your Deleted folder will also be permanently removed.

Note that files in the Deleted files will continue to consume space till they’re permanently removed. Read on to find out more about how to immediately remove files from the Deleted folder if you're out of storage space. You can also recover deleted files at any time before they’re permanently deleted. 

Opomba:

When you permanently delete files from the Deleted folder, you cannot restore them.
