Below is a screenshot from dropBox, using the link you named 'this page' where you say there are no backups.
I believe you, it is not a backup, call it whatever you like, I would like to know how to delete it.
This Page which you say has no backups
I can't delete my Backup either...so, I can't use my free version of Dropbox because it's over size the limit.

Hey marcelltab - sorry to hear about this.
Can you clarify if you're getting any particular error when trying to delete your backup from the backups page?
No errors. It just say that the file is deleted and then the files just there.
After all that, I go back the the 1st screen. The file is still there.

marcelltab, I can see this was posted two days ago. Are those files still there?
If yes, can you clarify the current syncing status of your Dropbox app?
