Backup file
Hello,
I've noticed on my father's PC that is Dropbox was out of space (5,8 GB).
I then checked the Dopbox folder and it has just 1.5 GB occupied.
Online (see picture) it says:
-File standard 699.7 MB
-Shared files 882.5 MB
-Backup 4,2GB
I looked for this backup files on the folders and could find anything, just the 1,5 GB files mentioned above.
I have also deleted all the external drive from Dropbox Backup but no change on occupied space.
Could you please help sort this out?
Thanks.

Backups are listed on the Backups page. It might take some time before your usage is updated after you delete files or backups.
