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
Hi @ikala, sorry to hear you’re having the same issue.
Can you please click on this link, and clarify if you see any folders at all there?
If that page is totally empty, please let us know, so that we can open a support ticket for you.
@SecretAdmin, can you also check the above link, just to make sure there are no folders showing there at the moment?
Thanks!

Thank you for your reply. I had entered that page earlier today and saw it empty, but now it keeps charging and nothing appears. Might it be full?
Hi again. It looks like I have some unwanted backup. How can I get rid of it? I can't find the delete option.
Thanks in advance,
Hey @ikala, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
Are you not getting an option to delete the backup on this page at all?
Have you maybe tried clearing your browser's cache or trying another browser?

Hi Walter,
Thank you for following up on our issue. I see no backups in the link you shared, but I still appear to have 3.59 gb used, when my folders, including shared folders, show no more than 1 gb. I really can't see why.
I appreciate your help on this.
Hi @ikala, in order to look into this matter in more detail, would it be possible to reach out to the email associated with your forum profile?

I only have shared files in my dropbox but it shows Regular files takes up 12 GB. I tried to find the back up files in www.dropbox.com/backups/pc but I didn't setup backups. How can I find that Regular files and delete them?
