You get 15 GB of free Outlook.com email storage which is separate from your Microsoft cloud storage. You have 5 GB of free cloud storage with your Microsoft account shared across your files and photos in OneDrive, attachments in Outlook.com and your Microsoft 365 apps. Microsoft 365 subscribers get 50 GB of space.
To see how much mailbox storage you've used and quickly clear up space, open your Settings and search for Storage.
From the Settings > Storage page you should see a breakdown of how much space each folder in your mailbox is taking. Below, you should see a list of the folders represented in the breakdown with the option to permanently delete all items (or those older than 3, 6, or 12 months) in these folders to free up space.
If you are not a Microsoft 365 subscriber, you also have the option to upgrade to get 50 GB of space as well as other premium Outlook and Office features.
When deleting items from Inbox or other folders, items are sent to the Deleted Items folder by default. The Deleted Items folder does count against your mailbox storage quota until it is manually emptied or the emails are automatically deleted after 30 days, whichever happens first.
To permanently delete a message or messages, select or highlight the messages, press Shift and DEL on your keyboard.
This message means you have exceeded your cloud storage quota.
If you exceed your Microsoft storage:
•You won’t be able to upload, edit, or sync new files (such as Camera Roll) to your OneDrive. Your existing files will remain but will be read-only.
•You will not be able to send or receive email in Outlook.com, even if you have not exceeded your email storage quota.
•You will not be able to send or receive any Microsoft Teams messages which contain attachments.
•After 12 months, we may delete your OneDrive and all files within it.
