I apprecite it. Good to confirm. But this also proves that the deleted files app does not really save you in certain cases like this.

Don't assume that new files will come immediately and make me lose 29gb of pictures instantly. I think that was a good improvement suggestion. In my case, this 195gb is on a VPS and I do not yet have the option to raise it due to budget constraint. It's not that I don't keep my files elsewhere as well, but if I could have such functionality, I may decide that Owncloud would give me a grace period to save me, and I could let go the 3rd copy of backups :) Many thanks again, Br, Emre
