Hey SCPrint, welcome to our Community!

If you removed your content locally, but can still see it when you visit your account online, that could probably indicate that the app hasn't synced your changes. 

Can you check the app's current syncing status, and let me know what you find? 

Also, please let me know more as to what your plan page reports.  This link www.dropbox.com/referral_status will help with the referrals as well.

Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!
