Drive Cleanup tool

When the Bitrix24 drive runs out of free space, you will not be able to upload new files. To free up drive space, use the Drive cleanup tool. You can quickly scan files and delete unnecessary ones.

Drive storage space depends on the Bitrix24 plan.

Free up drive space

Go to the Drive page and select the Drive Cleanup tab.

Click the button to run scanning.

After scanning, the system analyzes the drive content and suggests which files can be safely deleted without data loss:

  • Recycle bin — it is better to empty the Recycle Bin if you do not need its files.

  • Unused — they are backup files.
