Hey, guys, I think Outlook just wants to make money because whatever I have tried the percentage won't decrease and will still tell you, that your mailbox is only 5 percent left which is less than 1 GB to use. Till now I haven't seen any video really dealing with this issue. All videos that you will meet online are just how to delete certain Folders but not really solving the problem of asking for money to update your storage.

All my folders are empty yet outlook says I’m over the storage limit. Screw outlook. I’m done with them.

[holistic_meg_]

Even on my computer my outlook doesn't look like that I don't have an option for file

[kevinrodolfo]

There is no option "Clean-up old items" in my Tools.
How to enable that option?

[theadvisor]

Why would you ask someone to give you a thumbs up even before they have established whether or not your content is of any value? Does that make sense to you?

[sibellakingston]

I’ve deleted 12, 000 emails and it’s still saying full.
There is nothing in my deleted box or my junk box. Both are empty.
It’s still saying it’s full.

[TheTugenukem]

And when my outlook doesnt look even close to this and i cant find any "file" on it to find this?

[goatsmilk]

I've just realized I ran out of space a week ago and have not received any emails during that time. I fixed the space problem and thinking they would magicly appear but they did not. I'm wondering if the sender would get any kind of an email error message or would they just assume I received them?

[RuthEsther-nnqe]

I have space now. I unlinked and deleted One Drive, deleted a bunch of emails with attachments, emptied the recycle bin etc. I also deleted a huge file (my camera roll).I have like 1 gig of space now and Microsoft is still bugging me to buy space sending emails that say your ALMOST out of space, buy some. All of my missed emails are GONE. I refuse to reward Microsoft and buy their storage. I don't think I want anything with their name on it ever. I pray there is a class action suit against the company for this one. Consumers need to be reimbursed for this miserable mess and being inconvenienced.

I finally figured out how to fix the mailbox full error issue on outlook web. I had to empty out my sent items folder too, that cleared the error for me. Hope this helps.

[Pwnage]

I found a fix. Even if your outlook deleted items folder is empty, it is still cached and will give you the option "restore items recently deleted in this folder" click it, then select purge all.

[keithchegwin]

[bobcampbell]

[lisafrank]

[seannwakefield]

Thank you!🎉 my boyfriend is in IT and I asked him two months ago to help me with this… your video helped me to do it myself… honestly I don’t know why I’m still with this man…🤦🏼‍♀️

[donnacollins]

You know your stuff but, You are going far to fast for me to keep up, it takes me more time stopping and starting then actually doing the job,

[doledart]

Faster to increase the size of the mailbox through regedit. I bumped mine to 100gb and haven't had a problem yet.

[PhillyDjHook]

How TF do you delete thousands of emails with one click? Why tf is he taking so long to get to the point? *Thumbs down, unsubscribed*
