Hi from me, as well! If you've enabled computer backup and you select the option to return your folders back to their original locations ("Keep content in folders on this PC/Mac"), while disabling the feature, they should also be removed from your Dropbox account, thus freeing up your space.
I have been desperately trying to find the Backup and Synch tab on the dropbox PC App that is called out on the "backup" help page.. So far there is nothing apparent.
