Hobby Deployment Storage remains near 10 GB after deleting deployments

Hi Vercel Team,

I’m trying to understand a Deployment Storage issue on my Hobby team before it reaches the 10 GB limit.

Current observations:

Deployment Storage: approximately 9.5–9.7 GB / 10 GB
Functions Storage: approximately 6.76 GB / 10 GB
Active deployments: 9
Recently/soft-deleted deployments visible through the API: approximately 322
Approximately 313 are marked softDeletedByRetention=true

Today I manually deleted 7 deployments, reducing the active deployment count from 16 to 9. However, the Usage dashboard has not shown an immediate reduction.

Could you please clarify:

Do deployments in the Recently Deleted/recovery period continue contributing to Deployment Storage or Functions Storage?
Is the lack of an immediate reduction expected because Deployment Storage uses rolling GB-month accounting?
Is there a supported way for a Hobby user to permanently clean up old soft-deleted deployment storage if the account is approaching the 10 GB limit?

I have already adjusted my workflow to prevent unnecessary deployments.

If account-specific information is required, please let me know if there is a private channel where I can provide the Team/Project identifiers.

Thank you.

The team shipped an update yesterday so your dashboard now reflects each day's deployment storage amount more quickly.

If you still see high storage use at this point, I'm linking some optimization steps that can make a big difference.

Optimize Deployment Storage

Set retention periods, review remaining usage, and reduce deployment output size.
