Hi, @Patricia Steed

If this is a personal Microsoft account, you normally have 5 GB of free OneDrive storage.

You can increase it by adding a separate subscription. Microsoft 365 Basic provides 100 GB of OneDrive storage.

You'll need to delete some files or buy more storage, here's how: https://support.microsoft.com/en-US/onedrive/my-onedrive-says-it-s-full

After freeing space (or purchasing additional storage), it can take up to 24 to 48 hours for everything to fully update across your account. I’d recommend waiting that time and check again OneDrive after that.

If the update is still pending after 24 hours, you can try unlinking and relinking your OneDrive account, or resetting it. "Unlink and re-link OneDrive" https://support.microsoft.com/office/unlink-and-re-link-onedrive-3c4680bf-cc36-4204-9ca5-e7b24cdd23ea

I really hope this information is helpful! Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.

Regards,

John J.D.
