It sounds like there might be some synchronization issues between your OneDrive account and your local files. Sometimes files that have been deleted locally can still remain in your OneDrive account, taking up space.
Here are a few things you can try to resolve the issue:
- Check your OneDrive settings: Make sure that your OneDrive account is not set to automatically back up files from your computer. You can find this setting by right-clicking on the OneDrive icon in your system tray and selecting "Settings".
- Clear your OneDrive cache: Sometimes, OneDrive can cache files that have been deleted, causing your account to appear over the limit. To clear your OneDrive cache, right-click on the OneDrive icon in your system tray, select "Settings", then go to the "Account" tab and click "Unlink OneDrive". Once unlinked, you can delete the OneDrive folder from your computer. Then, relink your OneDrive account and let it resync.
- Empty your OneDrive recycle bin: If you have deleted files from your OneDrive account, they may still be taking up space in the recycle bin. To empty the recycle bin, go to OneDrive.com, select "Recycle bin" from the left-hand pane, then click "Empty recycle bin".
I hope this helps!
