Just got an email from Dropbox saying that I  have deleted 232606 files. Looking att Dropbox.com it shows a couple of versions one were the deleted files looks ok with just the files I know are deleted. If I follow the link from the e-mail I get another version with enormous amount of deleted files that I don't recognise. What is up?

The email is probably taking you to www.dropbox.com/events which can group things together - especially moves

Dropbox is just warning you that a large deletion happened - to try and stop you loosing data. 

 

Unfortunately it isnt always the best at identifying moves vs. deletions. 

 

You can turn them off in notifications if you want to.
