Got notice my Microsoft storage of 5 g is full to either uograde or delete some files. Pl can anybody advise what to delete? Will my photos album in iPad count towards the limit. Thanks

If you sync your photos with Microsoft storage then yes they count.

5GB isn't a lot but it might have filled up with things you don't need.

Have a look at what you have stored and decide what you can delete or move elsewhere.

If you have an iPad why not store your photos on icloud ?

Yes, seen this affect a few people (see above register link for an explanation) - totally confusing when you believe you have 15GB.  The quick way around it is to buy 100GB storage for £20/year.  Or the Microsoft storage page allows you to delete stuff "older than 12 months old" which may be good enough (but use with caution)  Or change your email address.
The Microsoft 100GB basic upgrade is here
