We can’t change admins this site has reached its storage limit – recently I have faced a different issue, I have created a record center site collection in SharePoint Online, then when I have browsed that site it says “404 NOT FOUND” error, even though the site is listed in the active site’s dashboard. To my wonder, I just went ahead to change the site admin from the active site report menu – then I got to see this error: “Can’t change admins this site has reached its storage limit. To change admins, free up space or increase the storage limit.”, in this article I will share how to fix this “Can’t change admins this site has reached its storage limit.” error.

Just after creating the record center site when I browse it, I get the below error: 404 not found error in SharePoint Online site
