Step 1. Move Photos to Recycle Bin
The purpose of the Recycle Bin is to get rid of the photos that are no longer needed. The photos in the OneDrive bin are stored for 30 days before getting deleted permanently. The deleted files are still in the recycle bin. There is a point to be taken into consideration that once the recycle bin is full then the oldest file(s) gets deleted after 3 days. However, if the user is signed in through a work or school account then items in the bin get deleted after 93 days.
Step 2. Permanently Delete the Photoss from the Bin
In terms of storage, One Drive offers 5GB of free storage for every user. Users can purchase extra space from 100 GB, 1 TB, and 6 TB. Microsoft also offers extra storage with Office 365 subscriptions. But what if the user doesn’t intend to buy the paid subscription? In that case, the last resort is to delete the files that are not required anymore. Hope you find this article helpful in solving your queries!
