Backups are taking up my space, but I didn't back up any devices
Hi!
My account tells me that 80% of my space is used for "backup" but I am not backing anything up to my dropbox. How can I clear up this space?
Thanks for your help!

You likely enabled the Backup feature without realizing it. Check your Backups page.

Thanks for your quick reply. When I go to backups it looks like this:
It won't let me delete the mac one. When I click on it I get the following "let's get started" prompt further proving (in my mind) that I don't have the Mac back up initialized.
So I'm not sure how to delete it if it's not there to begin with. Thoughts?
Thanks again!

Hey jenfrentz, thanks for reaching out to us.
Is it possible that it was an external drive that you backed up to your Dropbox instead?
What do you see in your backups page?
