Two things to check 🙂

 

Are you sure its Dropbox giving that message and not your computer hard drive? 

 

Secondly check to see if you've accidentally set up backups: www.dropbox.com/backups which also use quota

Hey @ahmed mosly! Hope it's alright, if I jump in. 

 

You can also double check your Dropbox usage on this page

 

If everything looks alright there, and you've also checked Mark's suggestion, can you send me a screenshot of the notifications you keep getting? I can have a look, as well.
