After the update today, I’m not able to refresh storage after deleting items. I’ve had this happen in the past.
HI @Jon_Colman
The UseGalaxy.eu server had a maintenance event that likely explains your observations yesterday. → Galaxy Europe downtime: ongoing maintenance work Tue, May 12
I don’t see the banner for this anymore, so things are likely getting back to usual. It might take a full day for everything to resume (purging large amounts of data can take 24 hours after everything is back online).
If this persists by tomorrow, please let us know! 
It cleared up by this morning.
Ok great, glad that resolved and thanks again for alerting us about potential issues!
