So in my app, on my phone OR opening the website anywhere, my Dropbox says I’m way over in space, but I don’t have anything in my files. I’m not sure how to access the stuff that it’s stored and I don’t know why/how it got stored there. I need to remove these things so I can use Dropbox again.. can anyone help me? If I could add pictures, I would. If what I said was unclear, let me know and I’ll try to further explain or maybe we can email.
I tried contacting support, and they couldn’t help because I have basic.

      Hi Britkit97, I hope you're doing well! 

       

      Would you mind sending me a screenshot of your plan page, and what you see there? 

       

      I'm asking, since I'd love to have a visual of this. 

       

      Thanks a bunch!
