sharepoint sites storage

Question

Dear all,

Last friday, a user saved 2 uge files (400 gb !) on one of our sharepoint site. This action makes the overall size of our sharepoint sites to the limit warning. Yesterday those files have been deleted also from the recycle bin. Today, the overall size is still the same.

Question : what is the frequency (and latency) of the sharepoints overall size calculation that can be seen on the sharepoint admin portal ?

thank you

Hi @Pfeiffer Andreas - UCI,

The SharePoint Online overall size calculation is updated every 24 hours. However, there may be a delay of up to 48 hours before the updated size is reflected in the SharePoint admin portal. In this case, it is possible that the overall size has not yet been updated to reflect the deletion of the large files.
