This guide explains what takes up storage in your PhantomBuster workspace, how storage limits work based on your plan, and how to clear space if you’ve run out.
What takes up storage space
Each time a Phantom or Workflow runs, it saves result files and logs to your workspace. Over time, this data adds up and contributes to your total storage usage.
Your available storage depends on your PhantomBuster plan:
- Free plan: Includes limited storage.
- Paid plans: Include more storage and access to features like result file deletion.
If your workspace runs out of storage, you may not be able to launch new automations or save new results until space is cleared.
How to check your current storage usage
To view how much storage you’re using:
- Log in to your PhantomBuster workspace.
- Click the Coin icon in the top-right corner of your workspace.
- Once on your Usage page, scroll to the Other resources section.
- Review your current storage usage and remaining space.
How to free up storage space
You can clear storage by deleting old or unnecessary result files. There are two main ways to do this, depending on your plan:
1. Delete Phantoms or Workflows (available on all plans)
To delete a Phantom:
- Go to your PhantomBuster Dashboard.
- Find the Phantom or Workflow you want to remove.
- Click the three dots in the upper-right corner of the Phantom card.
- Select Delete.
What happens next
A confirmation popup will appear, asking if you're sure you want to delete the Phantom or Workflow.
The message will remind you that:
- All associated result files and launch history will be deleted and cannot be recovered.
- Any leads saved to your LinkedIn Leads page will remain available, but they will no longer be linked to the deleted Phantom.
- Any filters or lists using the Phantom as a reference will stay in place.
Be sure to download any important data first. Deletion is permanent.
2. Delete result files from a Phantom (available on paid plans only)
If you're on a paid plan, you can keep your Phantom configuration and delete only its result files:
- Go to your PhantomBuster Dashboard and find the Phantom you want to clean up.
- Click on the Phantom to access the console page.
- Click the three dots in the top-right corner.
- Select File browser.
- Select the files you want to delete.
- Click Delete.
Tips to avoid running out of storage
- Clean up regularly: Delete results you no longer need, especially from high-volume automations.
- Download important data first: Use the Download results option before deleting if you want to keep a copy.
- Upgrade your plan: If you consistently run out of space, consider upgrading to access more storage and file management features.
