  Hi there,

  I have added the modlook tag to this topic in order to get a staff member to look at it :) They should be able to check in the back end and get back to you with a solution.

  the solution is to either optimize the pictures for the web (replacing the existing pictures) or buy way more storage space

  I saw several 1MB images and the one I clicked all the way to the fill size was over 6MB – does not take many of those to burn through several GB of storage space

  @cattan2011,

  Upon checking your website, I completely agree with @auxclass, there are probably hundreds if not thousands of very high resolution images which can easily take up all the space you may have.

  Optimization your images will not only save you space but also definitely speed your website up.

  I have removed the modlook tag as well since the insufficient space message is probably because of the number of high resolution images.

  However, feel free to the tag back if you think that you may have more space than your images are taking.
