Checked your Backups page? Also note that you don't need to permanently delete files. Simply deleting them is enough to recover space.

Hey wamsender, let's jump right into this!
I'd love to have a visual of your plan page and what it reports in terms of your account's quota. Would you mind sending over a screenshot, please?
Keep us posted!

There's almost nothing left in my folders. Some of them are empty. I deleted 90% of what was there. I got the extra gigs from people signing up with Dropbox through me several years ago. Do I need to disconnect devices, or something???
