Dropbox shows erroneusly 2261% used space and there should be plenty of space left

Can you please help! I have used dropbox years and now got message to buy more space. I deleted files and my local folder and dropbox site shows just a fraction of what there should be.

    Hey ttomppa, thanks for posting today.

     

    Is it possible that you enabled our backup feature at some point? Do you see any info here?

    That was it! I don't know how did that happen, but that was taking all that space.
