First, Dropbox doesn't remove your storage space unless you had a time-limited bonus applied to your account. Space from referrals is permanent. Other bonus space is not.
They also don't block access to the space in your account. If your account says you're using 10.18 GB of space, then you really are using that space. Have you checked your Backups page?

Hi Rich thanks for your help and spot on, never knew about backup, and found a load of files which I never knew was there but cannot delete them as they were on a 64GB memory stick, I have gone to the settings page and security but its not listed so cannot delete anything...
No idea what Paper mobiles devices is but that's the only thing that said unlink
I also still have the memory stick but that has nothing on it.
Sorry but simply never knew about the backups folder, what next?
