Microsoft storage guides

Microsoft storage fills up in two places at once. Outlook.com has its own mailbox limit, and your Microsoft cloud storage covers OneDrive files, photos and email attachments. When either one runs out, mail can stop arriving and files can stop syncing. These guides explain which meter is full, what is using the space, and how to clear it without losing mail or files you need. They are based on Microsoft's own support documentation and written for personal Outlook.com, Hotmail and OneDrive accounts. Start with the cleanup guide if your storage is full today. If you have already cleaned up and still need room, the second guide shows how to spread your files across up to four free Microsoft accounts.
