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
I deleted everything. It's completely empty. I did that last night. I thought I'd give it some time to figure out that I am not over my limit. But no. This morning it still says I have 1.03T in my basic dropbox. How is that possible, and I guess if it can't be fixed, how do I delete this account so that I can start over again without all this insanity.

What about www.dropbox.com/backups ?
That's where it was. Thank you. It's a brand new drive that I never asked to be backed up. I've never asked Dropbox to back up any of my drives, but it was backing up everything. Now can you tell me how to delete my account. I used this for years just fine, and then suddenly early in April it started backing up my computer without being given permission to do so. That is creepy and unwanted.
I have the same problem but after I removed the backup it still uses my disk space.
