Google Drive users sometimes come across strange situations. Even though you may have adequate free storage, Google Drive may display an error indicating the drive is full and you need to clean it up to store new files.
Method 1: View Hidden Files
Much like File Explorer, there can be hidden files in your Google Drive account as well. Here’s a simple way to view hidden files eating up your storage space:
Method 2: Delete Data Associated with Unwanted Third-Party Apps
We often connect Google Drive with third-party apps. These apps can store our user data which is not visible in our Google Drive account. They are hidden by default.
Notes:
Method 3: Empty the Bin Folder Contents
Google Drive empties your Bin folder every 30 days. However, it’s worth checking if there are any files still in the Bin Folder that are taking up a good amount of storage.
Note: After emptying the contents of your Bin folder, it may take some time to reflect the updated storage space information.
Method 4: Find and Fix Duplicate Files
Another way to free up your Google Drive storage is to find duplicate files and delete them.
