Hi @DevangMahesh Thanks for posting! Spaces are typically used to showcase projects or demos and should only contain code. We do not recommend storing data in a Space repo. Data files can be loaded from other hub repo types (models, datasets) easily into your Gradio app. For example, the hub Python client library allows for a straightforward process to load datasets into your Gradio Space. More information can be found here: [🤗 Hub client library](https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/en/index).

There are several benefits when it comes to storing data files in a [dataset](https://huggingface.co/docs/datasets/en/index), such as:

- You have the ability to version your app and data independently
- Your Space will rebuild more quickly
- You can work with the data more efficiently in a dataset, as they are optimized for data

Another option is creating a repo for your Space repository: [Create and manage a repository](https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/main/en/guides/repository#repo-creation-and-deletion) and using your [Inference Endpoints](https://huggingface.co/docs/inference-endpoints/index) instead of Spaces.

We also have some tips and recommendations for freeing up storage in your Space: [Storage limits](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/en/storage-limits#how-can-i-free-up-storage-space-in-my-accountorganization).
