Strange email alert that I deleted multiple files

I just got the following email from Dropbox. The fact is that I made no such deletion, other than putting files offline, which is not the same thing. Is this a Chatbot scam to upgrade?   Hi Joh...

Hi Hannah,

I also just got a similar email. It's from no-reply@dropbox.com.

I moved some files from my computer to dropbox but I didn't delete anything. There's nothing in my 'deleted files' area of my dropbox. 

The email says "you recently deleted 5384 emails from your dropbox account". 

Do you know why this is?

Thanks :)

Have you recently moved or renamed any large folders in your Dropbox folder?
