Quick answer
Check the mailbox storage view to identify what is using space. A local disk cleanup is not the same as reducing server mailbox storage.
Understand the issue
Decide which messages must be retained before removing large items. For a work account, check retention requirements with the organization. Keep any exported archive somewhere recoverable and confirm it opens before relying on it.
Step-by-step checks
- Review mailbox usage in the account service.
- Identify large messages and approved retention options.
- Verify available space and send a small test message.

Conclusion
