Upgrade StorageAnother thread about removing stored PDFs to free space
Hi -
I've read a number of related threads on this topic, but none have helped me with my problem. I too am trying to free space, so that I can test out the sync features with a colleague and assure ourselves it fits our needs, before paying for storage. I just want to be able to create a new entry with an attached pdf, modify the pdf, and check that the modified pdf syncs for all group members on their Windows client.
In the Windows client, I removed the pdfs from group libraries using the Advanced Search method detailed in other threads. I emptied the trash and clicked sync.
Yet when I look at my storage statistics (https://www.zotero.org/settings/storage), nothing has changed, and I can see in the web-based client that the pdfs are still attached.
Have done several syncs, close/reopen, waited a few hours, etc. Where should I go from here to make sure the pdfs are removed in the group library in both the Windows and web clients, thereby freeing space?
Thanks!

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
If you think it's not, can you provide the URL for the item online? (You can X out part of the group name if you want.)
The URL for a specific library item, or the URL for the pdf that is attached to it when viewed in the web client? Either way, I'm afraid I don't know how to do that, from either the web or local client.
https://www.zotero.org/groups/xxxxxxxxxxxxx/library
var key = 'B634SS4A';var itemID = await Zotero.DB.valueQueryAsync("SELECT itemID FROM items WHERE key=?", key)
if (!itemID) {
let deleted = await Zotero.DB.valueQueryAsync("SELECT dateDeleted FROM syncDeleteLog WHERE key=?", key)
if (deleted) {
return "Deleted: " + deleted;
}
return "Not found";
}
var trashed = await Zotero.DB.valueQueryAsync("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM deletedItems WHERE itemID=?", itemID);
return "Item " + itemID + ": " + trashed;
Thank you!
Edit: I'm going to modify my earlier post, now, to remove the URL for the library, if that's okay.
