It seems that this person is going through the same issue as me. The only solution I have found is throwing money at the issue. Do not do that. I have went through Onedrive and Outlook like a sweeper and have deleted every file under the sun in order to free up space. I even contacted support and yet I still have not had help with my issue. It has been months without use with 0 files being pushed to there, but I still am over flown with files and documents apparently even after deleting every single thing that is available for me to delete. TLDR: Do not sell out to a multibillion dollar company due to the email service they provide being hot garbage. Keep your troubles with literally any other mailing service.
