How do I resolve storage issue

When I go to edit my Google Docs it says I cannot because my storage is full, but when I click for more information it says my storage is only 11% full. I deleted a bunch of emails and documents and the message hasn’t changed. I really want to be able to use Google Docs and I don’t know why this is happening. Has this happened to anyone else and what did you do to resolve it?

How do I fix the Sorted Paragraphs extension?

So I have this extension called Sorted Paragraphs for Google Docs, and for some reason, it all of a sudden just does not work and it has been like this for at least a few months (as only the Help option is visible and I cannot actually use the paragraph sorting options like I could originally).

Is there any way of fixing this issue?

Version History in offline mode

I'm a teacher. I rely on Google docs and Chrome extensions like Revision history to track student typing etc. It's just one tool (I have a bag of tricks) to discourage AI use.

This works great when all the students are online. However, from next year I'm not going to be able to guarantee all the kids have internet access all the time. My question is- can version history be tracked in the same way in off-line mode? Once they submit I'll be able to open the docs in Chrome and thus, use my extensions.

Misspelled words, only 2 options: Ignore or add to Dictionary

Docs have no suggestions, its options are either Ignore or add to dictionary

It also shows hovering dialogue with link for "Why am I not seeing Suggestions" but that leads to here (https://support.google.com/docs/answer/12022089?sjid=6242047070481792150-NC) a page about auto substitutions, I turned them all off, reloaded multiple times yet it can't fix a spelling error.

"Show spelling suggestions" option were toggled on from (Tools>Spelling and Grammar > show spelling suggestions) yet still not getting suggestions.

Has it always been like this? How do I fix this?

PS: Other typos have proper spelling suggestions, only "includ" doesn't

How to adjust the size of indent in table of content?

Just like the title says. I am trying to put an indent in between two words but the indent ends up being really big. Is there a way to adjust it?

I'm currently just spamming spacebars to get the gap that I want but that's a bit tedious and sometimes they don't really align well.

I need to paste over 1000 screenshots into a DOCs file.

I've set up cells, but when I copy and paste the images, I need them to be arranged horizontally, but the cells are putting them vertically. This will take ages.

How to convert pdf file to Google doc through drive?

I can't seem to convert pdf to doc. I made an edit on canva and I want it as google doc, but there's no option. So you have to save it as pdf first and open it on drive and then open with doc. But the problem is, I can't see any options there. I tried everything but it's still not working.

Does anyone know how to format a header for a Novel in Google Docs?

r/writing Suggested I ask this question over here since I am having so much trouble:
I am trying my best to DIY Format my book but I cannot get the Header to do the bare minimum I need. All I want are Page Numbers with Audiowide font, and each Page alternating between The Book Title and the Chapter Title. Does anyone have any tips or know if this is just a problem with Google Docs? Also, several people suggested that I change what program I am using and try Scribus or Scrivener, if I need to do this would it keep my formatting, fonts and Colors or would I have to redo all of that from Scratch?

How do i fix this with numbered lists?

Image in the comments and I did block the text, but the text after the (b) goes to the start of the page, whereas the text after the (a) lines up with the letter. How do I make the text after the (b) line up with it?
