Technical Questions
You can optimize storage space by changing the sync settings of any projects you no longer want to edit across devices or by deleting them. In Your Projects (home button), select the three dots underneath a project’s thumbnail to either turn off sync or delete it. Either of these options remove any media associated with that project from Creative Cloud and reduce the amount of storage you are using.
Note:
Turning off sync prevents you from working across devices, and deleting a project is permanent, irreversible, and prevents you from accessing it again.
Account deletion is permanent and irreversible. Before you close your account, ensure you've downloaded all your synced images stored in the cloud and exported and saved any completed videos from Rush.
You can still use Photoshop Express to create projects if your storage space is exceeded. However, new projects and any media you add to new or existing projects don't sync to Creative Cloud. So, devices other than the ones where the clips are created or located cannot be used. Any media you add before running out of storage space is available across devices (unless the project was deleted or project syncing was turned off).
