Delete the file link from your data source. This is what the File Storage Link will look like ` **https://storage.googleapis.com/glide-prod.appspot.com/uploads-v2/HIYjyxTfZKD94Z7jJcwJ/pub/zJpfruKJNlK9GFJyl6Fv.png** ` ---

Are there any files that are uploaded to user specific columns which you don’t see on your spreadsheet? ---

Here’s a reference from an earlier thread. > [@Upload image to Cloudinary from within Glide](https://community.glideapps.com/t/upload-image-to-cloudinary-from-within-glide/11204/3): > > Uploaded files will be deleted within 30 days of being removed from your app. ---

Is there a way to delete files faster than waiting 30 days for that? I need space ASAP ---

Also I have a lot of projects and I cannot know which one is probably consuming more storage than others. A better control os usage per app would be really useful 🙂 ---

> [@Vitor\_Guimaraes](#): > > I need space ASAP I’m pretty sure the storage usage is updated almost immediately as long as no app references that file anymore. You still have 30 days to recover the file, but I’m pretty sure it’s not counted against your usage if you don’t refer it it anywhere.
