  1. deleted a 44.5GB game and only got 5GB storage back


    I recently completed it takes two and as it was taking up a lot of storage space 44.8GB i decided to delete to free up space on my computer. Before deleting i had 9GB free storage and after deleting it only increased to 14gb free. I'm very confused, i cant even redownload the game now? even though i had the space to download it previously. I have not downloaded anything since originally downloading it takes two, nor had an update for windowsMy 'installed apps' information is also very confusing as the largest app is supposedly Roblox at 3.23GB and then a handful of other games ranging fro

    1TB Cloud storage upgrade but still shows 5gb

    I just upgraded to 1TB cloud storage but still show only 5gb. Do I have multiple accounts? If so, how do i combine or delete the old accounts?

    Do I only get 5gb of storage?

    Hi person_360

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    With a Microsoft Account you get a free 5GB of Storage on OneDrive.

    Using OneDrive is optional, if you do not want to use OneDrive, you can uninstall OneDrive in the Settings App, go to Apps - Installed Apps

    If you have more than 5GB of data to store in the Desktop, Pictures and Documents folder, it is best to not use OneDrive if you go over the 5GB, or if you do want to use OneDrive an have more than 5GBof data, then you would need to get a subscription to OneDrive (100GB) or if you use Office 365, you would have 1TB of OneDrive space.

    The Cloud storage is capped at 5GB . Is there is plan to increase the cloud storage in future.

    Microsoft has a basic 5GB cloud storage feature for every customer. Yet in modern times when there are so much data generated from computing activity that size is small to store more data. Has Microsoft introduced plans to increase this 5GB cloud storage for free. I think it should provide free cloud storage upto 15 GB like Google provides for its customers. What do you say?
