Delete a Large Security Copy

Delete a Large Security Copy

I've recently noticed that my 2GB of storage space is completely filled, primarly due to a large security copy. However, I'm facing challenges in identifying where this file is located. Here's what I've tried so far:

* I have deselected the security copies in my account setting (desktop)

* Nothing apperas to be syncing currently.

* I've cleared the cache and hidden element in the Dropbox folder.

* I've even reinstalled Dropbox.

 

Aditionally, the only significatn usage I can see is 2.1 MB in a shared folder, which appears to be the only thing I can delete. I'm baffled as to what is taking up the rest of  the space.
