My drive just keeps filling up. 379gb used of 320gb

Hi

There are a few things that could do that. A debug log, would probably point out the correct issue.

But as a start
- check the never delete pull down - these files are ‘never deleted’ and also not counted in the space deletion. So will use and report more space is being used than you requested.

Other possibilities include drive access issues can read but not delete.

I figureg this out. I read the "confirm will delete files if needed" to mean it will prompt me to delete files. It actually means "I will automatically delete files when the quota is reached".

Yep it is a double confirmation . I’ll look at re-wording perhaps?

I don’t believe there is any easy way to prompt as idea is to run unsupervised - so for most any prompt would go un-noticed

New version coming soon - depending on store turnaround
