Permanently deleting images in shared folder.
I have many years old folders in my shared folder list. But under each folder it says that they are not in dropbox. Ho can I permanently delete these folders?
Ar they counted against my limit...

I guess I did have another account. Someone added me to their account. I'm going to close that account. Thanks for your info.

Hey steveschneider, sorry to jump in here.
For shared folders that you've temporarily deleted (or are not added to your Dropbox), you can click on the ellipsis (...) button there on the right on your "Shared" tab and click "remove me".
That should permanently delete them from your Shared tab too.
As for the email you received, is it possible that you received it on a different address than the one associated with your Dropbox?
That would mean that you probably have a second Dropbox account, that is full.
