Skip, I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Deleting cloud files without first confirming they exist on your computer. Always download a copy before deleting.
- Thinking all files in cloud storage are duplicates. Some files may exist only in the cloud.
- Not checking the storage breakdown first. You'll waste time deleting the wrong things.
Signs you need professional help
- If the storage breakdown is unclear, or if your cloud storage contains the only copies of important files, book a CommandIT session to set up a backup strategy and safely manage your space.
