Review storage analytics in the Power Platform admin center to identify large entities
The first step in freeing up storage without deleting important data is to identify which entities consume the most space. The Power Platform admin center provides storage analytics that break down storage usage by entity, allowing administrators to make informed decisions about data cleanup or archiving. This approach ensures that only non-essential data is targeted, preserving critical business data.
