Backup of external Device started by mistake, and I am running out of space.

Hi Community,

 

I have started a backup of a external device by mistake. I delete the it then from the Backup list too. But Dropbox says I have used all of my Memory already. So my question is, where is this backup stored so that I can delete it? Its not in the root folder. 

 

Regards

Alex

    Have you checked your backups page?
