Hi Gary21, thanks for messaging the Community.
Currently, it wouldn't be possible to prevent these specific notifications, as they're important notifications regarding the quota on your account.

If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.

Hi Jay,
Thank you for the reply to my inquiry. I understand that I am over my quota, which I no longer need. The Dropbox software was only a trial with my HP laptop. I don't need any of those saved files.

They won't (and can't) delete your account. You need to do that yourself, or leave the account idle for more than a year and it will be deleted automatically. If you're unable to sign in to the account to delete it yourself because your password doesn't work, you can reset your password.
