    Okay looks like ive been able to resolve the issue, For some reason a shared folder that I had offline was taking up space even though it wasn't on my computer. It was nt letting me delete it but I just then was somehow able to force delete it.

     

    Thanks

Hey HamishL - sorry to hear you're having issues with this.


Could you please clarify what's reported in your plan tab in regards to your account's quota?

 

Thanks!

      A screenshot of your quota breakdown would be very helpful too HamishL 

       

      Apart from that, have you tried signing out from your account through the app's preferences and then back in?
