No more space on my Dropbox, but Dropbox backup is empty

Dropbox StaffHi there Mord0r85, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
Can you please confirm that you've followed these steps to disable the Dropbox Backup feature?
Also, did you delete your backed up files or folders from this page?
Any additional information is more than welcome!
Hello Walter,
I've deactivated backup unplugging my Dropbox account, then I've deleted my backup, in fact this page is empty.
I've tried to delete cache files using this guide, but the problem still remain.
Thanks for your help

Sorry for jumping in, Mord0r85.
In this case, can you send over a few more details on what happens exactly when adding new files to your main computer folders (Desktop/Downloads/Documents)?
Are these folders showing within your local Dropbox folder perhaps? Any screenshots you can provide are also welcome.
Hello Nancy,
backup functions are disactivated by preferences, but Dropbox still continue uploading backup from main computer folders (in screenshot you can see an uploading from Desktop about a link file of a recent app).
PC main folders (Desktop/Downloads/Documents) aren't inside Dropbox local (and online) folder.
