Deleting files to free up space should be reflected immediately

Deleting files to free up space should be reflected immediately on your Dropbox account. Why do I have to wait 12 hours to see the changes applied? If I reach the limit of my storage, that's what happens.

I can't upload files because the system still thinks I'm full, when I'm not.
