Important Note
Microsoft has announced that unlimited cloud storage will no longer be available for educational institutions. This change affects all users, including faculty, students, and staff.
Understanding OneDrive File Versioning
OneDrive automatically saves multiple versions of your files through a feature called file versioning. Every time you open a file, make edits, and close it, OneDrive creates a new version. This applies to files in OneDrive and SharePoint libraries, including Office documents and many other file types.
While this feature helps you view or restore previous versions if needed, it can also consume significant storage space as multiple versions of the same file accumulate over time.
How to Reclaim Your OneDrive Space
To manage your OneDrive storage effectively, you can:
- Review and delete older file versions that are no longer needed.
- Manage large files and clean up unused data.
