I need to increase storage on my email as it states that I have used 90% of storage. I now cannot receive or send emails. I would be grateful for any advice?

You could try deleting some maybe?

Have you emptied your Deleted mails folder ? Also your Junk mails folder ? If you have the 'free' email account, apparently, you can buy access to increased storage. Are there any sent mails you no longer need ? If so delete them too.
Edit : If, after all that you are still receiving the same message it could be this :
Quote "Same problem here. I deleted ALL my emails... still full.. then I realized they were taking into account a ONE DRIVE storage for all my photos!! So.. what they want us to do.. is expand our storage capabilities by PAYING THEM... annually! I'm like... uh.. no. I will go through the hassle of setting up a new account over on yahoo... and changing my small business email address. I'd rather do that than give those vultures money."
The answer : "The problem was that One Drive had copied my photos in Triple or Four times, once I had deleted the copies I was fine."

Same problem for me Sue and the same response to Microsoft. The problem with Microsoft is there are programmes I have never needed but guess what you can't delete them and they take up a lot of storage. Also M insist on copying all info onto my mobile so I have to spend time each day deleting crap I did'nt want on it. I got my hotmail hacked by someone in the USA and Russia and Microsoft still after years hasn't dealt with the USA hacker so I still get all these emails telling me I have own loads of things in the US. You have to have 2 email addresses so I have gmail which I only use as a back-up. Have you thought about using mozilla or linux. I am awaiting a reply to a message I sent to Elsie. Linux maybe a hassle to download successfully but no one is trying to sell you anything and phishing etc. is simply not a problem here in France and the office suite is just as good if not better than Microsoft Office - check out Ubuntu, that is what I intend to use. We are about to terminate all accounts in the UK and I don't trust Microsoft to handle our financial arrangements. I need to set up my new mini PC before I engage in these actions. |

Here's a weird thing - for about 2 weeks I have had problems loading various sites on Google and even when loaded they would drop out for no reason. Loads of hassles with Edge (which I don't like) as well.
I know I am low on storage as I am constantly reminded and I cannot delete anymore sites. Lo and behold today these problems have disappeared and missing icons have reappeared on the bottom bar.No idea why this is and that I do not like at all.
I need to action opening a new financial site here in France and transferring a sum of money. I will not trust this PC or my Hotmail/Outlook accounts which I want to delete - I have 2 other emails to use.
There are so many checks against fraud today tht make using a PC for business a real PITA.

I don't know what this was about? ------------------------------- On a PC, are you running a cleaning programs such as Glary Utilities to clean up your junk files, etc. (CCleaner has too many nagging extras now) Even better is BleachBit www.bleachbit.orgA program such as W10Privacy will allow you to identify and uninstall a lot of unnecessary progams, disable background apps |

Incredible - once I deleted Edge all my problems disappeared. All the icons returned, no dropping out, programmes load fast. Even more dertermined to not use Windows 10 on my new mini PC. Shall definitely try BleachBit |
