How to free up space in my Dropbox account?

ive deleted and permanently deleted files.

 

the "my account" information still show 2+gb of shared files.

 

since im still at my limit, how do i get rid of these shared files?  i dont need to keep them or keep access to them because theyre all temporary and once i delete them from dropbox, its because i dont need them or to share them anymore...

 

seems like a money making scheme to me.  use it, fill it up, try to delete (and they show deleted in that they dont show anywhere) but keep the account full so PAY for more space...

    Yes, indeed emanuelsf. Pending shared folders don't count towards your current quota unless you except (and ADD) them to your account. 

    For possible ways to free up space on your account, refer to my previous reply :wink:

    Let me know if you have any follow up questions and have a lovely weekend ahead!
