Incorrect dropbox space usage on windows
Hi Guys,
My local Windows Dropbox is fully synced with my online Dropbox. Windows Explorer file/properties shows my Dropbox folder is 576 MB but to my surprise, dropbox.com and dropbox app bot...
We can confirm that the most recent releases of Dropbox should have resolved this issue. Users affected by this issue were unable to see all of the backups on their account. This meant that when they believe they deleted some or all of their files, there could still be backups taking up space on their account. This should no longer be affecting users who should be able to see all of their backups.
You can find out deleted information on disabling and deleting backups below:
If you disable the backup and choose to "Leave content in Dropbox", your backup content would still be there until it was permanently deleted.
When you go to the Backups page and see no content, be sure to check the deleted section, too.
You can download the files from this location if you need to store them locally on your device.
To clear out the data from the deleted backup, follow these steps:- Navigate to
dropbox.com/backup/all - Click on
Show deleted backups - Select their backup and click on
permanently delete
Some users did not have backups, but they were members of shared folders which were taking up space on their accounts. You can remove shared folders using these instructions.
If you are still experiencing quota issues after following these steps, then confirm that we can reach out to you via email and our support agents will look into this with you.- Navigate to
Hi,

My diskspace is full, but i already deleted everything.
i had this issue 2 weeks ago, someone wrote that i have to delete the backups.
i did and it worked, but since today its full again.
i checked the backups again und deleted the data, but this time it was only a few mb and its still full.
Thanks for your help!

Dropbox StaffHi there SecretAdmin, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
Can you please let us know if you see any files or folders taking up space in your account's homepage or your backups page?
What exactly is reported in your account's plan tab in regards to your quota?
Let us know what you find and we'll take it from there.
Hi @Walter thanks for you reply.
My Homepage just have a few pictures, my backup page is empty
and my plan tab looks like this:
