Session information from MATLAB Online and MATLAB Mobile is saved in your MATLAB Drive, but it is in a hidden folder call ".session". Typically when someone's MATLAB Drive appears empty but claims to be full, it is because this session data is using up all the available space.

You can view hidden files and folders in MATLAB Drive by clicking on your user name in the upper right hand corner of the screen, then selecting "Show Hidden Files" from the menu that appears.

Follow the steps below to clear your session data:

1. Delete all content inside the ".session" folder
2. Click on "Deleted Files" from the menu on the left-hand side of the screen to view your deleted files
3. On the resulting screen, select all files you selected from the ".session" folder and click "Permanently Delete" from the options near the top of the screen
