How to free up space from my hard drive?
The Harddrive on my Acer desktop is almost full so to free up space I am uploading redundant music files to One Drive. Then I am deleting them from the Hard drive but notice that this action is not credited, i.e. I have not yet freed up the space I need. How do I make that happen? Am I supposed to empty the trash, or is there a special place in dropbox I do that? Thanks. Oh yeah, I'm on I think Dropbox Family

Hi there Hebephrene - thanks for posting on our Community and sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
Are those files in your Dropbox folder or on another location on your computer?
If you'd like to make up hard drive space on your computer through Dropbox, you could use the selective sync feature or even the option to make your files online-only.
As for your account's plan, you can check it out in your account's settings.
In any case, please let us know more and we will pick it up from there.
Walter thank you for your response. I am going to try to make them online only but to answer your question these files are in my dropbox folder on my desktop and I have dumped them in the trash but that has not resulted in more drive space. Again, do I empty the trash to gain the space back I want? Best, Joel
Additionally, when I right click on a file in my dropbox folder I do not see an option for online only. There is a Dropbox choice but even when clicking on that there is no option to make a file available in the cloud only and not on my desktop. Thanks
