I have a free testing instance of Confluence Cloud.
One day I was playing with uploading some video files to see how it will work in Confluence.
I have quite fast internet, so I don’t need to pay attention to the file size at is almost instant.
I’ve uploaded lots of videos and some .pdf’s
But… next day on this Confluence I’ve noticed a warning with info that I’ve reached storage limits!
I was thinking ok, that’s reasonable - probably my files waighted a lot, so I’ve started to delete them one by one from the pages. It was easy because I was only targeting videos.
I’ve clean up some pages, checked the storage, nothing changed but I noticed info that it is refreshed every 4h, so I did other things. But after 10h … so at least 2 cycles … my storage didn’t change.
I noticed that removing not used attachement from page is just a part of the solution.
I still had to remove files from space storage.
