Submission Upload Error - Insufficient Space Despite Deleted Models

Issue: Submission Upload Error - Insufficient Space Despite Deleted Models

Issue Description

I encountered an error while trying to upload a model for my university exam competition hosted on Codabench. The error message reads:

Steps to Reproduce

1. Uploaded several models initially without issue.
2. Requested the competition administrator to delete previous submissions to free up space.
3. Attempted to upload a new model (file size: 732.7MiB).
4. Received the error message mentioned above, stating that my available space is negative (-567.9MiB), despite previous models being deleted.

Expected Behavior

I expected to have sufficient storage space for the new model upload after deleting the earlier models. The system should reflect the updated available space correctly after deletion.

Actual Behavior

The system shows a negative available space value, suggesting that either:

1. The deletion of previous submissions did not properly update the storage quota, or
2. There is a bug in the storage quota calculation logic.

Impact

• Prevents participation in the competition, affecting the evaluation process for my exam.
• Creates confusion around storage management in Codabench.

Suggested Fixes

1. Verify that storage space calculations are updated correctly when files are deleted.
2. Ensure that the available space reflects real-time changes in user resources.
3. Provide users with a more detailed view of their storage usage, including logs of deleted and current files, for better transparency.

• Browser: Google Chrome Version 131.0.6778.70 (Official Build) (64-bit)
• Operating System: Windows 11

Hello,

I have the same problem with ghost data remaining on my account and reducing my resources quota.
I am unable to delete them from the resources tab.

I think my problem originates from the competition bundle being too big to be uploaded which result in a zombie upload where the bundle size is deduced from the available 15 Go while the bundle is not linked to our account and therefore prevent its deletion.

That is an interesting take. We are trying to investigate it.
