Hey pb5558, thanks for your post today.
Is it possible that you have any backup files or shared folders that are taking up your space?
Let me know what you find!

I thought I'd deleted all files but don't know how to find any back up files. I've tried to follow instructions from the 'Help' section. The files/folders keep reappearing after I delete them.

Hi pb5558,
While you look into this, I'd recommend that you, or any other Community members experiencing the same issue, read through our Storage Space FAQ page.
It covers "My account is empty but Dropbox says it's full".
