Thank you for your reply, still a bit confused here.
On the Dropbox website it states:
Deleted files don't count against your storage quota, so permanently deleting them won’t free up space.
In your reply above you state:

Which is it? I have deleted files and folders but I do not remember seeing a corresponding increase of storage space.

Hi ajw1100, I'll be happy to give you an example.
If you have a file that's 2GB, and you delete it from your Dropbox account, then the account is automatically empty, provided that you have a Basic account with 2GB of quota.
However, there's no need to permanently delete that same file. Since it's already been deleted, it won't count against your account's storage. Deleted content doesn't take up extra amount of space.
