Re: I want to delete files from my Dropbox completely. How can I go on about this?

How the heck do I delete files?! One that no longer interest me.
And I think I’ve duplicated some by mistake! I need to free up some storage space

    This doesn't work. Why does Dropbox make it so RIDICULOUSLY difficult to delete files? Oh, that's right, because if our Dropbox account fills up, we have to pay for, or pay for more storage.

    Hey ruglove - thanks for sharing your thoughts on this with us.

    Can you please clarify if you're referring to the Dropbox website or maybe the Dropbox desktop or mobile app? 

    If you could also elaborate on the issue you're having and/or what's troubling you, it'd be very helpful.

    Thank you.
