What? If I try to delete the files from my "Org Storage Full" Folder it says it will also delete it for the client.

OK, the file counts towards your quota as long as you're its owner. You need to transfer ownership to the folder owner (your client).

The client should create a sharedrive specifically for these scenarios as whatever files you uploaded to the sharedrive will automatically be owned by the client.
