Dropbox is empty but says it's 7GB full
what the title says, db alerted me of not having enough space, though the sum of all folders was way less than the space I have. Now I have deleted every folder in my dropbox, and still says there are 7GB in it, I have already checked hidden files.

I have the same problem -- found "Backups" and now don't know which settings to change to get rid of the problem. Not sure I know what the "Backups" function is?
