Trying to delete files, not working. I refuse to just buy more storage space.

  I am trying to make space in my dropbox on my HP computer, since I am getting a  warning about starting to delete files unless I buy more storage space. I absolutely do not want to buy more space!...

    Hey Katriina1​!

    Can you check the plan page, and let me know what it reports there? Do you have any shared content taking up space in your account?

    Or perhaps you have any active Backups enabled. Can you check that as well?

    Also, what happens when you delete files online? Do you notice the same behavior?
