How can I purge the files from my Deleted files page?
I need to completely empty my delete folder to free up storage space.
I have already deleted the files from the cache on my Mac. But I need to remove the files from the delete folder on the Dropbox site.
I check the box next to the file name in the delete folder. But no option to remove the file appears. There is no delete link, no garbage can icon.
I know that the Delete folder will automatically clear out eventually, but how do I clear out the delete folder right away?

Hi 1869785
Deleted files do not use quota, so, you do not need to purge anything.
Once you delete a file you recover that space. Same with previous versions. That doesn't use quota.
If you are still out of space have you looked at www.dropbox.com/backups ?

For permanently deleting files take a look at https://help.dropbox.com/delete-restore/delete-files
