Dropbox is full message after deleting files & unsharing folders

I received a Dropbox is full message.  I deleted files and unshared folders but it still shows full message although there is less than a Gig in Dropbox. It requests I upgrade and I don't want to do that. I'm on a Mac platform.

    Hi buddy! You might be deliting too small files, try with a bigger one o try deliting the files again and then refreshing, you must be oversteping the amout of GB that dropbox gave you (2 GB). Nice day
