Dropbox StaffWelcome to the Community, Matt Busfield!
Just to clarify, are you receiving this error message only for a specific file, or multiple ones?
Is this happening for a personal file that you created on your Dropbox account or a shared one instead?
Let me know, and we’ll take it from there.
Hi Nancy
Thanks for the reply. It is happening on all files / folders. Even ones I have created and not shared with anyone.

Thanks for that, Matt!
Out of curiosity, do you currently have the desktop app installed on your device? If yes, I’d like you to try and delete a file from there and let me know if any type of error message pops up.
Other than that, can you also switch web browsers, and see if the error persists?
I am having the same problem
All my files are resisting being deleted but i am getting plenty of messages to expand my drop box capacity! If you find an answer, I'd be most grateful.
