I tried to upload a font to my asset folder but received the response:
“Error: You cannot upload any more files. You have reached the total size limit of 250 MB. If you would like to upload more, please remove the ones you aren’t using anymore by in your [assets](https://editor.p5js.org/assets).”
My asset folder continues to display a total of 344.86 MB (138%) though I deleted many files and calculated that it now totals 187.57 MB, far below the 250 MB limit. Wondering if the system takes time to refresh or if there is another reason my storage remains stuck at 344.86 despite my having reduced it through file deletion.

I am having the same problem, deleted most of my assets to free up space but my account still states that I an over the limit.

Hi @gjs,
Now that three weeks have elapsed since your post, your account has become a good test case for this issue. Has the system refreshed since then, allowing you to continue with what you had hoped to do?
Here’s hoping …

Hi Javagar. I apologize for the late reply to your post.
Unfortunately, my account still shows a total asset size of 344.86 MB, exceeding the 250 MB max. When I attempt to upload a file to a new or existing sketch, I receive the following response:
“Error: You cannot upload any more files. You have reached the total size limit of 250 MB. If you would like to upload more, please remove the ones you aren’t using anymore by in your [assets](https://editor.p5js.org/assets).”
I’ve deleted a number of files and re-calculated my total asset size using a spreadsheet; it is now down to 143 MB. However, I still receive the over limit response when I try to upload a new file.
Wonder if you or Rima have any solutions I can try. Thanks in advance. Gary

Hello @gjs, this sounds like an issue that should be reported on the p5 editor Github. Would you mind adding a new issue there describing the problem? This will help track the bug and figure out how to fix it.

For anyone still encountering this: I’ve submitted a small fix for a related issue where the asset usage meter keeps showing an outdated storage total after assets are deleted.
The change makes the meter and upload-limit warning use the current total returned by the asset list.
[Pull request #4293](https://github.com/processing/p5.js-web-editor/pull/4293) is still open and hasn’t been merged yet. Sharing it here because it may be relevant to the symptoms described above.
