Manage free kDrive storage space

This guide explains how to control the storage space used and how to make room on your Drive. The Free kDrive offer includes maximum storage of 15 GB; Do you want to increase the total space?

View used space

1. access your kDrive from kdrive.infomaniak.com 
2. in the left side panel is indicated the storage space used
3. for a more detailed overview go to Manage storage space

Free up storage space

To recover free space on your free kDrive, it is not enough to delete large files (videos, etc.) because the files always take up space once placed in the trash.

Empty the kDrive trash

You must manually empty the trash to permanently delete the files located there:

1. from the left side panel select   Trash
2. it is possible to delete all the files in the trash by clicking on the Empty trash button
3. or delete files on a case-by-case basis by clicking on the icon to the far right of the file in question, then select Permanently Delete

Also note: whenever a modification is made to one of your files, kDrive saves up to 30 versions for 30 days . This allows you to navigate between multiple versions of a file and be able to restore an older version if needed.

It is possible to delete all versions of the document by clicking on the Delete all versions button or to delete versions on a case-by-case basis, by clicking on the icon then clicking on Delete , but this does not particularly free up place because this versioning is not counted in your kDrive storage space.
