How to free up a space

Hi

I am using free Dropbox plan. 

I accidentally confirmed the backup of an external drives, and his huge backup caused that my dropbox is full. 

I deleted this drive from the folders, which are selected to back-up, I cannot see anything like this in the dropbox webpage, all files content, but still the dropbox shows that I used 290GB which is over my 5GB limit.

How should I delete something, which I cannot see to choose to delete?
