App stops syncing because of the quota have been reached, but I'm underquota

On this page it says "5,1 TB out of 5 TB" are being used. Though, when i check https://www.dropbox.com/team/admin/members i can see that the rest of our team only uses 438 GB in their private folders. So in total we only use around 4,1TB (3,66TB + 0,44) out of 5TB right now. It must be a Dropbox problem and I want to give you some more context: One big folder has been moved away from our Dropbox system yesterday containing a few hundred GB. I removed our ownership completely, made sure it is not shared with us anymore and i also deleted the team member and the license of the person who was originally hosting this folder, as he is actually not working for the company anymore. Could this maybe still cause this trouble? I really need to get this to working quickly and i really don't want to upgrade.

Same address, same account. Just 2 hours of deleting files from shared team folders in between....

Hey yoshimitzu, sorry to jump in here.
When you deleted the team member mentioned above, did you choose to transfer their files to another member or did you delete them?
Because files transferred after a team member is removed from the team still count against the team's quota.

I've deleted it. And I've removed the entire account only after i've switched the big folder i've mentioned above. So it was just a few Megabyte left on that account.

I've just deleted another 100 GB. Immediately i can see more space available on the browser version. No change here https://www.dropbox.com/account/plan No change on the App....
How is this even possible?
