It sounds like you're a member of a shared folder that is taking up all the quota on your account.
You can leave the folder using these steps, either temporarily or permanently, and that will free up your quota, without affecting the other users on the shared folder.

Thank you! Am I doing this through my personal dropbox or through my works dropbox?

Thank you Jay! I did this and also deleted everything in my dropbox but it still says that I need to upgrade my account to 2TB? Or does it just take a while to refresh?
- Jay4 years agoDropbox StaffI just realized you're writing from a different username, so you're probably signed into another account.
Depending on how much you're deleting, it could take a short time for the deletion to sync to your account, if doing it via the desktop app.
Deleting via the site would be faster, but again, can vary in speed if there's a lot of files to delete.
Are you now below your quota level on your personal account?
