File Size

Dang you history! You strike again! Working for a few hours on this file. Next thing you know it is beyond 100mb and now my file is hostage. Can't edit it to delete anything. Can't copy it again to chop down the history. This is the third time..

    1) Make the file public, which gives you much bigger files to work with.
    2) Copy the workspace, which strips out the unused history, and creates a new private version of your file.
    3) Delete the original workspace
    4) Rename the copied workspace as you see fit
    5) Delete the "deleted" file from the trash.

    Wait a few minutes and you should see your available file space has increased.  Deleting the deleted file from the Onshape trash folder is a critical step.
