Out of space even after deleting files
I have deleted so many files and folders and my storage space has not changed. In searching I've noticed this issue stems back about 8 years but there seems to be so much confusion around it. Can someone from Dropbox please correct this for me? Thanks.
I had to delete backups and then when I delete other files logout and back in, then it shows the freed space. Thank you!

Have you checked you've not set up backups? www.dropbox.com/backups ?
When I look at the backups folder it is empty. I've never used backups and I deleted the temporarily deleted files (permanently deleted) this morning as well.

Can you post a screenshot of www.dropbox.com/home and www.dropbox.com/account/plan ?
Note that deleted files use no quota, so, permanent deletion will have changed nothing.
