Dear All:

I have 7.75G dropbox space, and I have deleted all my files and shares.

But why the Dropbox web site still show that I havd used the starge about 5.04GB?

(But I have already deleted all my files)

So my question is how can I get my 5.04GB ? or where is the files of 5.04GB? or who can I clean all storge (like Format)?
