Dropbox says my account is full, but I don't see any excess files to delete them.

iMac and iPhone My free usage is apparently full but I can only see 3 folders and they are all empty.  How do I find the files to remove them?

Thanks.  I have a folder called "Archive" that appears to be the size of the space used but it won't let me delete it!

Update:  The Archive folder is now smaller after trying to delete and has freed up some space but it now shows an error.

Update:  Files now gone.  I'm being impatient!!
