I am having the same issue. it was working fine on Friday and now says I have nesarly 3GB in shared files but I dont. However when I look in the shared files bit, I can see old folders back to 2015 that were deleted years ago. In shared files you cant delete anything and these folders were already deleted. How do I get rid of them?

    Just to clarify, if you visit your All files page, do you see the same shared files there or do they only show when clicking on your Shared tab?
