Why is the storage space not freed up after users are removed?

Jason Liu -

When removing users from the account, admins have the option to keep copies of those users’ uploaded files and exports. After removing users, these copies will still consume the license storage space. If you need to free up storage space in your account, you can follow the steps in this article to download the copied files, store them in other places, and then remove them from your account.
