Freeing up space · Emergency Space

I got a notification that my disk is nearly full — what should I do?

Short answer: Use the notification's button to open Emergency Space, or open it later from More → Emergency Space or the red badge on Home. Enter how much room you need, review the plan, then confirm.

Click the button on the notification — it takes you straight to Emergency Space, the screen built for this. If you've already dismissed it, open More ••• → Emergency Space, or tap the red badge beside the bell on Home.

Then:

  1. Enter how much room you need.
  2. Review the plan — nothing happens until you confirm.
  3. Let it run; you can close the window and keep working.

It's never behind a licence prompt. See What is Emergency Space?
