Hi elena19, can you check if you have any folders shown here: https://www.dropbox.com/backups/PC?
If so, can you try to delete them?
If the issue remains, don't hesitate to let me know!

Hi elena19, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Can you check to see if there is a backup on the site still taking up your quota?
Keep me updated with any progress!

Hi Megan, I tried your solution but I noticed the browser was redirecting to https://www.dropbox.com/backup/all
So, since I'm on a Mac, I tried this https://www.dropbox.com/backups/Mac and it worked. I finally found where the files from the (unwanted and I don't really know how or when it was activated) backup were kept. The files have bene deleted and the capacity fully restored.
Thank you very much for your help, without your input I never would have guessed where the backup was stored (and, if I may, that's not very user friendly).
Have a good day
