The storage has problems, my account shows 11,000 MB / storage limit 1 GB, and I can’t upload anything anymore, even though I should be at less than 250 MB out of 1 GB. This storage doesn’t update. I just upgraded to Pro, thinking I could exceed this 1 GB limit, but that doesn’t seem to be the case 😕  
Please HELP

The [1 GB limit for Spaces cannot be circumvented](https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/lfs-storage-cap/155253/2). [It is recommended to place large files in datasets or model repositories](https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/error-repository-storage-limit-reached-max-1-gb/128910/20).

Thank you for your reply.  
My problem is that I deleted the files, but it still says I’m at the maximum, 1 GB. It’s as if deleting the files doesn’t change anything.

In that case, the LFS pointers for the deleted commits may still remain. I think this has been fixed so that they can be deleted from the repository settings. [`super_squash_history` is the easiest way](https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/will-lfs-related-functionality-come-to-hf-api/146721/8)…
