Hi 3CA, let's jump right into this! 

 

Changing the status of your content from "available offline" to "online-only" should help you free up some of your hard drive space, once the changes are fully synced. 

 

In order for you to make the change, you need to locate a folder/file inside the Dropbox folder, right click on them and choose "make online-only". 

 

If you have any questions, let me know!
