        Thanks, huffie.

         

        Can you please check one more thing?

         

        Do you have any shared folders that you don't need here?

         

        This page should show you shared folders that you never added to your account, or that you deleted.

         

        If you remove the ones you don't need (if any), do you see a difference in your used space?
