How to quickly clear the online file attachment (300M)?

MaxChanger · May 8, 2022

On a new computer, I accidentally started FileSync (careless without setting WebDev), and the newly saved item quickly filled up the 300M quota.
Is there any solution for me to clear the online file attachment?

I have tried deleting the pdf locally, then emptying the recycle bin, and synchronizing. At this time, the online pdf cannot be seen on the web side, but the space occupancy value may be delayed for a while.

This is a very tedious process, I took a cursory look, I may have about 70 pdfs uploaded to Zoter storage.

I wonder if there is a quick way to empty "pdf that was accidentally synced to Zotero storage"

I think there are some guys meet same issue with me, such as following.
I think our need is not to buy quota to keep uploading files, but how to clear "unexpectedly uploaded pdf"

All of the threads you link to say how to do this. It’s “Purge Storage in My Library” from the storage settings page.

Thank you very much. I searched for the local client for a long time, and finally found it at the bottom of https://www.zotero.org/settings/storage, with the red button.
