What you’ll work toward

Check usage and protect work before removing files.

Check usage

Open Plan & points to see storage used and the link to storage management. Review the items taking space and keep original recordings or editable projects that you may need again. Download and verify a copy before removing material you still need.

Storage and points are different measures. Use the storage view to understand file usage; check the points balance and plan information separately before starting a paid generation. If a file or usage number seems unexpected, confirm the active account and workspace and allow the page to refresh after a recent upload or deletion.

Recover a draft

A workspace may offer browser-local recovery after an interrupted save. For example, EmailAI can show Restore edits or Keep saved version, and offers a recovery download on a save error. Moments can show Recover unsaved edits. Read the prompt carefully: the local version and the saved version may differ.

Reconnect before retrying a save. Do not clear browser data while relying on a local recovery copy. If an item is deleted, check its workspace’s deleted or restore view and your permissions.

Recovery options depend on the type of work. Some editors can keep unsaved browser-local changes after a connection or save error; a deleted library item may have a separate restore flow. Read the prompt and compare the recovered content with the last saved version. A local recovery copy is not the same as a cloud backup, so save and reopen the project once the connection is stable.

Before clearing space

Check which file is the original recording, which item is an editable project, and which is a finished export. These serve different purposes. If you need a copy outside Vessel, download it and open it to verify the file before removing anything. Check the workspace’s own restore options and your role rather than assuming every deletion can be undone.

If an editor reports unsaved work, do not clear browser data or reload first. Use its retry or recovery download, then compare the recovered copy with the saved version. Once the save is confirmed, reopen the project to verify the result. See Manage your library.
