In the Media folder I see I have only used 1.4 GB of 3GB available, but as I am writing a post I keep getting messages asking to use GBs from my computer.

Why is this happening and how can I stop it. I am using a free site.

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there, if you are using the Safari browser you may be getting this message. Please see this earlier forum thread on the subject https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/i-dont-want-to-install-calypso-in-my-machine-and-would-appreciate-it-if-wp-didnt-keep-pestering-me-about-it/?replies=2

If you are using a different browser, try logging out and clearing your browser cache and cookies, which will also log you out of any other site you are logged in to, then shut down your browser.

Let us know how that goes.

Brilliant – thank you.
I am using Safari, so maybe there is nothing I can do about it.
Many thanks for your prompt reply.

You’re very welcome. Allowing Safari to use more memory is the only way to clear that message from appearing. Best wishes.
