Hi Friends!
Will someone point me in the right direction in regards to Microsoft cloud account that I have that's now full on my PC.
I have an Outlook.com email address and I can't get or send emails, download files ect, ect, ect . even jw.org downloads will not download. Microsoft wants me to buy more storage. I don't want to purchase more storage, is there any other options? Thanks in advance !

Hello Sister, Your post came to my attention just now a few minutes ago.
I saw you are looking for a solution for your data that you store at this moment "in the cloud", i.e. Microsoft Cloud, Google Drive, etc.
One solution like you already described is that you can buy more storage. Most likely you pay for this per month. However after one month storing your data there, you actually still have the same problem, namely that you are depends on buying more storage and store your data there, online.
One of the solutions you can buy for this is a empty harddisk, these days most of the time also known as SSD. If you build that into a small case, and connect this with a USB cable to your other device, you have your own "private cloud". This is also known as NAS (Network Attached Storage).
Once you have this done, you can transfer all your data to your new harddisk (SSD) and you have access to this whenever you decide to do so, and you pay no monthly fee.
Maybe the monthly fee is not that high, but if you calculate this over a year, and you compare with the price of a harddisk, it might be worth to do this step. Plus the biggest bonus is that all the data is in your own hands and not somewhere in the cloud. A decent harddisk for this might be Samsung SSD. (You can buy special harddisk for NAS use, but they will be more expensive).
I started doing the same a longer time ago and recently bought extra capacity.
For instance is you keep video's that takes more space than when you keep documents or letters. So depends to this you can also see in advance if you want some extra capacity, or that you want a huge amount of capacity.
This is one of the options you have explained here in general a bit. I hope this reply may help you. But if you appreciate more info feel welcome to ask.

I'm not sure what kind of device you have, or if you have any subscriptions, etc. BUT...
Your FREE Microsoft account allows you to store 15 GB of text-based emails in Outlook, as well as 5 GB of cloud storage for files and media - and this includes files and media that are attached to your received Outlook emails as attachements.
To free up more space, you have to delete emails, especially emails that contain images, files, and video attachments, or delete stuff from your OneDrive cloud storage.
If you have a computer, you can transfer files from your OneDrive folder to another folder on your device. Therefore it will exist on your device, but not on the cloud, thus freeing up cloud space. The only caveat here is that if something happens to your device, you might not have a backup copy in the cloud.
You can do as @IceBreeze says and buy an external hard drive and copy the files there, and then delete it from your cloud storage. But in the same manner, if something should happen to this external hard drive, you won't have any additional backup copies, unless you have multiple backup locations.
Other options would be to get a free Google account (or DropBox, etc) and backup some files to your Google account, therefore freeing up space in your Microsoft account.The next step up is Microsoft 365 Basic for $1.99/mo or $19.95/yr.

Our convention started yesterday, I made it with Jehovah's help but endiuncomng up having to leave in the afternoon because I had to sit in the lunchroom. The chairs make my body hurt badly, and I couldn't stand without difficulty either and breathing issues.
I ask. Is it Jehovah's will for me to be there and be in agony as he does sustain us but not take the literal pain and uncomfortablity away?
Anyway I am feeling guilty nonetheless and sad.

No Jehovah doesn't want you to be in agony. But there are things we can do to mitigate such issues.
I remember back in the day, my grandma & grandpa would bring cushions to sit on for their seats. Perhaps that could help you? Getting up and stretching every hour or two would help as well.
As far as the pain itself, there are natural things we can do to reduce our daily pains. One easy & even free (if needed) technique is called grounding. Many people who needed pain meds daily have reported that they no longer need such meds so frequently. I've even bought a couple grounding mats for those in our congregation that have pain issues and they too reported noticeable improvement.
I can tell you more about it in a private chat if you want more info. It's too much to post here.
