**Hi everyone. I've been using a free tier 5gb One Drive storage account, and I am experiencing a weird bug. When I have a file in my main storage, it counts against my storage quota. However, when I delete the file and it gets sent to the recycle bin, the quota immediately decreases. The reason that this is weird is that everywhere I look online, people and documentation say that One Drive recycle bin is supposed to count against your storage, and the space only gets freed when you delete the files.
I've been experiencing this for over a month, so it's not a update delay. The files can still be restored from the recycle bin, and the storage meter will increase again when I do that. Perhaps the weirdest part of it all is that I have two different accounts, and the same bug occurs across both of them. I could only ever find 2 other instances of people experiencing the same bug as me, and one of them was on this forum by a member who is still active, so I'm hoping they see this lol. Has anyone else experienced this before, or do you know what could cause it? It's not necessarily bad, but it is weird.
An example of the bug would be this:
3gb/5gb total storage
3gb of active storage
2gb of data in recycle bin
With the expected rules, you would assume I would be at 5gb total used, but since it doesn't count the recycle bin for some reason, it only says I am at 3gb.**
