Using 76 Gbyte out of 50 but Dropbox says it's nearly full,, and I can't delete files

Hi,

 

I have a Team Member Account with 50 TB Space of wich I use 76 Gbyte for Data. But Dropbox shows that I'm using 41,8 TB.

 

 

I got Error Messages with one Backup I cannot delete:

 

 

I also get Error Messages trying to finally delete my own files from the dropbox "deleted files" section:

 

 

What can I do?

    Hi AuB Db, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Could you try switching browsers to see if this helps?

     

    Otherwise, you can try using incognito/private browsing mode without any extensions running, clearing your cache and even resetting your browser entirely.

     

    Let me know how it goes!

      Thanks for your answer. I tried Safari and Chrome on Mac. And I tried private mode. -> Didn't help...

        I realized that the plans at Dropbox have changed (We had unlimited before) and 50 TB is now the space for all Team Members and the 40TB I can see are hold by the other Team Members and not by me. Ok, so one question was my own misunderstanding.

        But I still have the problem to be not able to delete files in the "deleted files" folder and one Backup.
