I deleted an obsolete backup, but my Dropbox space hasn't changed. What to do next?

I too have received a warning that my storage space is almost gone.  Almost all the storage space was allocated to a useless backup against an unplugged device that I no longer have access to.    ...

    I was this time able to delete the unwanted backup set from the Backups page. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for posting here, Mark Merriman.

 

Can you send over a screenshot of what you see now at your Backups and Plan pages? 

 

I can take a look and go from there.
