Issue

There are more than 1000 quotas configured on the server.

To delete unneeded quotas by using File Server Resource Manager

  1. Open File Server Resource Manager.

  2. In the console tree, expand Quota Management, and then click Quotas.

  3. For each unneeded quota, right-click the quota and click Delete.
