Dropbox says I'm out of storage even after deleting many of my files

I deleted loads of photos, videos and files but dropbox still says I am out of storage space.  What's up with that? How can I fix it?

Hi there Susan P.11 - sorry to hear about this.

 

Could you clarify what's shown in your plan page in regards to your quota exactly?

 

This will help us assist further.

        I see, thanks for the additional information Susan P.11 

         

        Do you see any folders that might be taking up this space on your homepage by any chance?
