My space is full but I never authorized my data to be added to Dropbox - how to undo this?

i just got notified that my dropbox was full but have no idea how this even happened. I never authorized linking to my stuff and my data to be stolen.

    Dropbox can't link to your computer or copy your data without your input. It simply doesn't work that way.

     

    If your account is full you may have activated the Backup feature without realizing it. Check your Backups page. If you have no data there, take a screenshot of your usage from your Plan page and reply with it here.
