My account is full even after deleting my files

Hello,    Does somebody know whether it is possible to get real help from dropbox, because the chat is only sending automatic messages... Or there is no help at all?   Thank you.

    Have you checked www.dropbox.com/backups to see if thats using up the quota? 

     

    Note as well that deleted items do not use up your quota so deleting them has no impact

Thank you! My problem is that my dropbox was full, but I deleted almost everything (deleted and permanently deleted on the website), and I still get the message that my dropbox is full and I can not synchronise the few remaining spreadsheets on my two computers...

    Yes, thank you very much! It was the backup that was eating space.
