Storage space messages from Dropbox, but I'm only using 117 MB.
I only have the free "standard" account in Dropbox which is apparently 2Gb of storage. I only have 3 folders in my account at the moment amounting to around 117 Mb. However, I keep getting mess...

I managed to delete the Backup files, and it seems to have fixed the problem. Thanks for your help and patience.

Hi Megan. I have tried to do screen shots of my page, but found it a bit difficult. However, here is what I have managed to get and it does show everything that is on the page, but in three separate shots. Not sure how to send them to you.

Have you tried clicking our camera-like icon and attaching your files there? 
If you're using a mobile device this might not be possible, and you'd want to try using a desktop instead.

Hopefully I have attached screenshots of the page you required to your first message.

Hi HJL!
I've tried two different devices and networks, and it seems that I can't see any of your screenshots. If you check on your end, are you able to see them attached?

Hi Megan. They are screenshots and they are in the space where I replied to your first message. My other alternative to fix my problem is to completely delete EVERYTHING from my Dropbox account and start new. I have saved what I need to a USB stick and can put it back into the new Dropbox if I need to. However, my attempt in the past to delete Dropbox and then reload, resulted in the new one still having all my old files in it and still saying that I was out of space.
