Can I delete my files to make up space on my account?

I have maxed out my free Dropbox version. Can I delete files to reduce my usage back to below the 2TB limit?

    Hey Neuropore - welcome to the Community!

     

    Of course you can delete files from your Dropbox account to make up space and, also, leave any shared folders you might not want anymore. 

     

    While we're at it, note the quota limit of the Basic plan is 2 GB, not 2 TB. 

     

    I hope this helps!

OK, thanks Walter.  2 GB limit duly noted!
