It isnt.
Theres two reasons why - one you are on a Team and that take a few hours to update or two you haven't actually deleted everything back you have Backups set: www.dropbox.com/backups.

Have you checked your Backups page? Also, take a screenshot of your usage as shown on your Plan page and post it here. It should look like this:

That's simply not true. Dropbox does nothing to hinder your ability to delete files or reclaim space. If your usage shows space being used, then somewhere in your account there is data taking up that space.
Let's start with a screenshot of your Plan page and we'll take it from there.
