Zotero full storage not true?

josepmsch
Hi,
I have a 2Gb storage account in Zotero. These days I have been cleaning my library and I found a problem I cannot solve. My computer storage folder is around 500 Mb, but when I try to synchronize, Zotero tells me I am using more than 2Gb and synchronization is uncomplete. What is going on here?
Thanks!!

    You're using under 600 MB online, which you can see in your storage settings. You shouldn't be receiving any errors.

    If you are, we'd want to see a Debug ID for a sync attempt that shows one, but I think you'll find that it syncs without errors.

    It's possible you just hadn't emptied the trash previously.

    Hi dstillman. I already found the error. I have zotero synced in various computers. Yesterday I cleaned my zotero account in one of them (and emptied the trash), but found the described issue. Turns out that opening the other computer and syncing there solved the issue. This makes me wonder: when I make changes in one synced computer (this is, removing files, etc.) is the data still in the computer until I sync from the other computers I have synced? Is there some kind of "master" device?
    Thanks!

    If you make changes locally, the changes are applied online as soon as you sync. Other computers are irrelevant.

    You're almost certainly just misremembering something about the exact steps you took. I wouldn't worry about it.
