Dropbox shows there are backup files taking up my space. How can I delete them?

Dropbox indicates 12.2GB of space is used but I only have 794GB of files. It seems to list 11.4GB in BackUp files. How do I view and delete these back up files to get more usable space?

    Hey ggossard! Thanks for posting your question here. 

    You should be able to see all of your backups from this page directly. 

    You can delete them this way after that.

    Let me know if that helps.
