Full DropBox even after deleting files/folders
I tried replying to other posts on this matter but for some reason I was not allowed so I created this new post.
My DropBox says it is full however I deleted lots of files/folders. The status...
Well I am a dumb A%& I totally missed the gigabyte vs terabyte drive limits my bad my expectations were way out of line.
My Bad!
I have two folders, one with data in it where I deleted lots from yesterday and one empty one that I created right after I deleted all the data yesterday.

Super User IIThe thing to remember here is that it is not the quantity of files which is important it is the size. You could delete 100,000 files at 1kb each and make very little difference yet 1 file of 2gb would clear the space.
The only data in my DropBox is the 235GB I copied from a portable hard drive. Somehow this drive is synced to my DropBox and I have been unable break the sync which is something else I'd like to do!

- You are in the company of many dumb assessment and I amust one. I did not notice that the "full" number I was seeing was a percent % not a value. I was reading 121% as 121G of 2T and couldn't figure out how 121 of 2 was full. Doh!
