How can a backup be completely deleted to free up my space?
A 3 TB drive started backing up (either I clicked the wrong option, or it just started doing it).
I cancelled it once I realised - but how I now completely delete the 'backup' from my space?
It's 4 gb and it's useless but I can't see how to completely remove it - it's more than the files I actually use on dropbox.
Any thoughts?
Thanks for the reply - I'd already seen all these help pages.
The answer's not here - it's actually done through
https://www.dropbox.com/backup/all
where all Backups can be seen / deleted etc.
Thanks though.
