To free up storage in your PhantomBuster workspace, delete old Phantoms or Workflows you no longer need, or use the File browser (available on paid plans) to remove individual result files without deleting the automation itself. Storage limits depend on your plan: from 50 MB on Free to 50 GB on Scale. If your workspace runs out of storage, new automations can't launch and new results can't be saved until space is cleared.

What takes up storage space

Each time a Phantom or Workflow runs, it saves result files and logs to your Workspace. These files accumulate over time and count toward your total storage limit.

Your available storage depends on your PhantomBuster plan:

  • Free plan: 50 MB
  • Free trial: 1 GB
  • Start plan: 1 GB
  • Grow plan: 10 GB
  • Scale plan: 50 GB

Paid plans also include access to the File browser, which lets you delete individual result files without deleting the entire automation.

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:

  1. Log in to your PhantomBuster workspace.
  2. Click the Coin icon in the top-right corner of your workspace.
  3. Once on your Usage page, scroll to the Other resources section.
  4. 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 or Workflow:

  1. Go to your PhantomBuster Dashboard.
  2. Find the Phantom or Workflow you want to remove.
  3. Click the three dots in the upper-right corner of the automation card.
  4. Select Delete.

What happens next

A confirmation popup will appear reminding 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 automation.
  • Any filters or lists using the automation 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 or Workflow (available on paid plans only)

If you're on a paid plan (Start, Grow or Scale), you can delete only the stored result files while keeping your Phantom or Workflow configuration intact.

For Phantoms:

  1. Go to your PhantomBuster Dashboard and find the Phantom you want to clean up.
  2. Click on the Phantom to access the console page.
  3. Click the three dots in the top-right corner.
  4. Select File browser.
  5. Select the files you want to delete.
  6. Click Delete.

For Workflows

The process is the same, with one extra step to access the console:

  1. Go to your Dashboard and click your Workflow.
  2. In your browser's address bar, replace "dashboard" with "console", then press Enter to open the Workflow's console view.
  3. Click the three dots in the top-right corner.
  4. Select File browser.
  5. Select the result files you want to delete.
  6. 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.

Frequently asked questions

What are the storage limits for each plan?

Free plan gets 50 MB, Free trial and Start plan get 1 GB, Grow plan gets 10 GB, and Scale plan gets 50 GB.
