Dropbox has stopped working as it says I have exceeded my storage limit.  I have completely permanently deleted all content e.g. files, shared folders, photos and have checked Events to see if I have missed anything.  I have then logged off and reopened my account however the message is still there that I have exceeded my storage limit despite there being absolutely nothing stored.
