Hi,
So it appears that there can be backups that don't show up in your backups page, but are actually still there taking up room. Dropbox support was able to identify it for me and send me a link that would get me to it directly. If you've initiated a backup of your PC that never finished you might have the same issue i did. If you go to the link posted below, and find there are directories there with stuff in them that might be the source of your issues. Once i removed them from dropbox online, my dropbox storage started was I actually had backed up an everything sorted itself. Hope this helps, if not escalating it with dropbox after the contact you will likely have them see a folder that you can't, which they can link you to directly.
i am deleting file after file but i am still out of storage it says.what am i not doing or doing wrong.i have the basic plan and do not want to buy more.i just want to be able to share esp.bigger files and share .then when i am done delete and keep the space that i have and do it again next time.

Hi vibrantbadger35, welcome to our Community!
Can you check the plan tab in your account settings, and let me know what it reports there? If you were excessively over your allocated quota, you'd need to delete a lot of files, in order to free-up your space.
Or perhaps you have any active Backups enabled.
Let me know what you find!
