Delete files aready deleted

Hi. The other day I connected an external drive, I press the wrong button and when I realized, Dropbox already made a big copy of its files. I did stop the copy and supposedly I deleted it. However, when you look at the bar indicating how much space you have free and how much occupied, that hasn't changed. I should have only around 10 Gb and I have 77, and I think that it was 76 when I that happened.  So, If you go to 'Deleted Files', it's empty, and I can't do anything, can I?

 

Thanks,
