If you uploaded a file to Libsyn that's cutting into your monthly storage quota, you can delete it to free up space if you need more this month. For example, if you want to publish more episodes than usual this month, but you've almost hit your monthly limit, you can delete an active file that you don't need so you can free up some space for your new content.

For more information about early archiving, see Free up Monthly Storage Space with Early Archiving.
