I deleted thousands of pictures but my account is still over quota
Hello, I understand that I'm over the storage limit, but I deleted thousands of pictures recently. Can you check for me how much space was freed up from that? It should've gone down, I don't know why...

Super User IIIt should've gone down, I don't know why it's so high still. What takes up so much space for it to be that high?
Have you checked http://www.dropbox.com/account/plan to see what it says? Dropbox themselves wont check that for you I'm afraid.
If you delete 100GB of files but are 100.1gb over quota it wont make any difference - you are still over quota.
Also check http://www.dropbox.com/backups/all as that can use lots of quota.
Also, will it really delete my files if I'm still over the limit by March 18th? I never got a warning like that before.
Yes it will. Dropbox added this policy last year due to massive abuse of the system.
I'm confused because ever since I deleted a bunch of photos, it keeps giving me that message that my files will be deleted, and back when I had even more storage used before deleting the pictures, I never got that message.
Probably as these rule changes are about 9 months old
