What storage are you talking about? Which device? (I am assuming a Mac since this is posted in "macOS High Sierra").


  • Storage on local hard drive?
    • Have you emptied the trash after deleting the files?
    • Check "About this Mac" and there in the drives section you can see which category is taking which amount of your drive space


  • iCloud storage
    • Check in system preferences in the Apple-ID/iCloud settings what is taking up the space and then delete accordingly what you don't need/want
