I can't delete my account, why?

I can't delete my account, why?

Hi,

 

I want to delete my account. I've been trying to do that for many months now but everytime I try that, I get error 500. Is there anyone who could delete the account for me? I get a lot of emails from dropbox saying I'm nearing my storage limit and it's really annoying for me.

 

Thanks.

Hi @LuKeSkO, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Could you try switching browsers to see if this helps?

 

Otherwise, you can try using incognito/private browsing mode without any extensions running, clearing your cache and even resetting your browser entirely.

 

Let me know how it goes!

Hello there,

 

I already tried that. Multiple browsers, multiple computers, multiple days/months in a row. Nothing worked.

Hi,

 

I'm only using a personal free account. Otherwise, I would contact support directly but since I do not have an active subscription, I can only do this.

Hey @LuKeSkO - sorry to jump in here, but would it be OK if we sent you an email to have a further look internally at this point?
