DELETE ONLINE BACKUP

Hello, I have a problem, I have a message that I have run out of space in my basic dropbox, but my folders weigh 1.5 gb, however when I enter dropbox.com I see that I have 2.5 gb of information, a backup folder of 1.1 gb that I do not have on my computer and that I do not know how I can delete. How can I delete that backup?
