I can't delete my backup, and my storage is full.

I can't delete this SwapTBD backup. It is defunct. but since I can't delete it, I have maxed my storage. Any ideas?

    Hey vasanta, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

    Could you take a look at your backups page and let me know if you see the backed up files or folders there? What happens when you try to delete it? 

    One more thing: what do you see when visiting your account's plan page online? 

    Let me know more, and we'll take it from there!
