I'm new to Norton Online Backup so I must be missing something obvious. I got the message that my storage space was full - 5 gb. So I purged all my files thinking I would recover the entire 5gb but I still have 3 gb used. How do I get rid of all of the files in storage?
No, it will not. That will only add an additional file to the backup set. Send me a private message along with the email address tied to your Norton account and I'll have our engineering team investigate to see if there is a quota issue. It sounds more like the purge didn't correctly decrement the qota.

I am confused about my online backup space and why it is nearly full.
When I got a message to buy more backup space I bought another 5GB for $50 and thought that would be problem solved.
But when I go to online backup it says there is 49.84GB used of 59GB.
I noted that there are 6 backup sets, and I am only able to purge one of them. When I did this there was still about 50GB used.
So I deleted the other backup sets from my computer using the Norton Backup Drive system folder. But again no effect on the online storage capacity.
I reduced the the size of my backup considerably from within Manage Norton Backup Sets after deleting backed up files: still about 50GB used.
Can someone Please help me delete everything from my account so I can start backing up again from my desktop and laptop.
It seems a lot of money wasted if the thing doesn't work properly.
Thanks
David
