How to free up space in your Dropbox account

[John W.87]

I've unshared many folders, permanently deleted lots of files but dropbox still reports that it is full.  How can I free up space?  I've already followed dropbox instructions with no results

How do I find out what is using my Dropbox storage?

I want to delete EVERYTHING.

How do I delete ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING SINGLE THING IN MY DROPBOX FOLDER???????????????

I MEAN EVERYTHING.

Hey @pforkes!

This page should show you all the files in your Dropbox account.

You can delete any unwanted files from there.

And you can use these steps to calculate the size of your folders and files, in case you want to check out what's taking up your space.

Cabt I just delete photos in Drop Box instead of increasing to 3mg?

Hey @Karen D.22, thanks for reaching out to us.

If you'd like to clear up some space in your Dropbox account, of course you can delete some files, if you don't need them.

Or if you need them, you can download them to your computer first and then delete them.

I hope this helps!

Not a problem, Karen!

Have a great week ahead!
