Hi mikehinford, do you experience slowness only when deleting large files in Dropbox for web? Is it not the same behavior for small files? It looks like you try to sort files by size to free up space and once you navigate to the folder view, the files are no longer sorted by size and you have to do everything again. Correct?

Yes that's correct. It's not really Dropbox being slow. It's the finding the folder size process being slow.
