Hey Delta Stageworks! Thanks for posting here. 

How long has it been since you deleted all of those files and how much storage were you using before that? Did you check your Shared tab, to make sure you’re still not member to a folder that’s taking up your Dropbox storage?

Let me know when you’re ready.
