Hi @andrealess13, if I understand you correctly you’ve used up all of your storage space, and even though you removed some pictures it’s still at 3GB, correct?
I do want to clarify: when you remove pictures, they will stop working on any posts or pages that include those pictures on your site. So unless you aren’t using those images at all, please do not remove them; consider upgrading to a Personal plan instead.
Or, you can go through and remove duplicates and what not, and update posts as needed so you won’t have broken images there. You would need to remove quite a few pictures to make a difference, though — it looks like you’ve only removed one or two recently — and even then you’d just run out of space again soon, or remove (and possibly break) more images.
So I highly recommend upgrading if you can! The Personal plan would double your space, get rid of ads, give you access to direct support, and let you add a custom domain:

Hello @supernovia , first of all thank you for the answer :)
Well, before changing plan I want to be sure how it works: if I delete all the post, will I have my mega again?
Since i have a lot of posts to share :) -
If you upgrade the plan, the only thing that will change is you’ll have more space for uploads (along with the rest of the plan’s features).
To free-up space but keep the site on the free plan, you’d need to delete quite a few images, and that will remove the images from any posts they’re included in too.
Posts themselves do not count against your available space, only uploaded media does.

The thing is that I deleted around 20 30 pics full size (8/10mb each) but it is always 99.9%..

I ran a quick calculation of all current media files on your site as of now, the total is 3075.4 MB, which is 3.003 GB.
It looks like our alert didn’t appear until you had already passed the 3 GB threshold, so even with the images you’ve already deleted, the media library is still over 3 GB.

No, it’s still a problem of your media library. You are still using more than 3 GB of space, which is all we allow under the free plan.
You’ll need to either delete a lot more images, or upgrade to a paid plan.

@andrealess13 yes you’d need to delete them from the library, too.
They will break on your site though. Do you care?
-
@supernovia in this case probably it is suggested to delete all the post and do it again?
-
It’s up to you whether or not you delete the posts as well. But as mentioned above, deleting posts will not free up any space in the library.
The only way to free up space in the media library is to delete the image files directly from the library itself. Any image you delete from the media library, will also disappear from any post where you have added them.
