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.

I have gone into the "backup" area and done a delete, but it is still saying PC1 has 2.17gb on backup.   Do I need to do something else?
