    Hey Werner 7, welcome to the Dropbox Community.

     

    To delete your backed up files, first you'll need to disable the backup feature.

     

    This will give you the option to move the backup files back to their original locations.

     

    If they're still taking up space in your account, even though you followed the above steps, you can try to delete them from your backups page.

     

    Let me know how it goes.
