I moved everything out of my Dropbox, I cleared all shared & bin, and still out of space.

I moved everything out of my Dropbox, I cleared all shared and emptied the delete bin, and yet I still get messages that my Dropbox is "nearly full".

Is this a scam to get me to upgrade?

    Dropbox says: "Your account is running out of storage!"
    But I have ZERO files in my Dropbox.
    How can I be running our of storage?
