Thanks for posting on the Community, Luchino!
Is your local Dropbox folder currently empty or did you delete it from your computer?
Can you send me any relevant screenshots showing that Dropbox is still taking up space on your computer's hard drive?
Let me know when you're ready.

ti ringrazio la tua partecipazione sarà sicuramente di grande aiuto, ti spiego :
All the contents of the crtella dropbox had been transferred to external hard drive and the deleted folder in the trash, the trash had been emptied, but the weight of the files are never lowered, quindo I also deleted apps from the computer
the Luca Rubini folder weighs 1.27TB
and contains 9 elements, the total weight of the nine folders is actually extremely neno, maybe 300GB but you can calculate from the sum of the nine folders in the screen shot- Hannah2 years agoDropbox Staff
Hey Luchino, does clearing the Dropbox cache help in this case?
