    That page in your last screenshot is the one to focus on. If that says you have no data in your account, then you're fine. You can ignore any email you're receiving that says otherwise.

    does it not imply there is a problem with dropbox? suggesting that i am running out of space when i have used none of it?

      No, it doesnt 🙂

       

      Email errors happen with every company. As long as the image showing 0 used is OK you are fine.
