How do I delete Backups in Dropbox?
Hello, I've been trying to find out what is taking space in my Dropbox. When I go to Manage account it says I have 11.8 GBs of Backups out of 15 GB. However I cannot actually find out what backup...
Hi Anwar,
I had the same problem some time ago & it took me ages to find out what was happening. Can't remember just how I found the backup (found the solution in the forum somewhere), but I did find out where the backup came from.
I'd logged on once using my friends laptop & somehow this linked his laptop with my account.
As the laptop was now linked, it got it's own set of default settings & the 'Backup external drives' was enabled. So my 'missing' 15GB was his external drive.
After I unlinked his laptop from my dropbox I could delete the backup with no problem.
If you are & want to remain linked, you could probably disable the setting & then delete the backup also.
