Over quota with most ZFS files deleted

tjhughes43
I have 100 Mb free storage and am getting the 'over quota' warning message and don't know why. I used 'Delete selected item from library...' on all but about 13 files in ZFS. I believe I am now using less than 10 Mb of ZFS. I still get the the over quota message on 77KS8ARK.zip (264KB) on my desktop. I use 'Empty Recycle Bin' after deleting files.

I also own three Groups. None have ZFS file attachments.

I use both a desktop and a laptop PC. Both PC clients and the zotero.org web page indicate 'My Library' has 401 items. Synching the laptop produces the same over quota message but on a different directory 5IAR7TUF,zip (265KB). Also, the desktop has 449 directories and the laptop 399 directories in their respective local Zotero Storage folders.

I have not tried the 'Purge files from personal library' option. I did not want to chance losing the remaining file associations. And I am not sure I need 1 GB.

Any ideas on next steps are appreciated.

    Don't use "Empty recycle bin"-- you need to empty the trash within Zotero to free up space.

    Thanks. That worked. Both Zotero trash folders are now empty. Both PCs now synch. Storage usage is now 76%. That still seems high. I will look at the ZFS files.

    Directory count is now 462 on the laptop and 471 on the desktop.

    I went through 'My Library' at zotero.org and found 26 files using 7.8 MB of storage. My Settings>Storage page says I am using 76.4 MB. Is there another way to see what files are using ZFS?

    Browsing your library on zotero.org will not show website snapshots but they still take space towards your quota.
