Storage Space

Hi Guys,
My local Windows Dropbox is fully synced with my online Dropbox. Windows Explorer file/properties shows my Dropbox folder is 576 MB but to my surprise, dropbox.com and dropbox app both say my dropbox is full. I have checked the plan tab and found my regular file size is 3.4 GB which is not correct. My shared folder only takes less than 100 MB. What is going on here? Why the discrepancy? Any inputs?
Thanks,
Tao
Great news @GV17190 and @belorecu! I’m really happy to hear that.

I have a free 2G account. Overnight my account went to 663% usage. All I had was 460 MB. I have looked for backups and all other recommendations, I have found nothing that helps. I had a shared folder that only contained 150 MB. Finally I resorted to moving files offline and deleting everything. Now my account has no files yet still 640% usage.
Have you looked at www.dropbox.com/backups?

As I said, I looked for backups. It does imply I found none. No backups, No nothing. Account is empty, shared folders and files have been removed, deleted files have been deleted permanently. I looked in every corner, only 2 devices of 3 are connected. one is the phone and nothing is backed from it, no photos no files. The other is the pc and no backup is enabled, just the dropbox folder which is empty. still 643% storage used
It can take a few hours to update storage space, especially if you are/were in a Team.

Its not a team account, I had a shared folder. I have been deleting files for 3 days to no avail. Finally I deleted all of it 10 hours ago and as of now it still shows 643% usage
Hey @Rafael Millan, can you please send us a screenshot of what you see in your backups page?

Hey @Mika2, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
Could you let us know what exactly is reported in your account's plan tab in regards to your quota?
Do you see any files on your homepage or on this page?
Let us know what you find!
