Thanks for posting on our forum, jennnnn_!

First off, you’ll need to make sure your Dropbox backup is disabled with these steps.

If your backup files are still taking up space from Dropbox after that, you can go to this page instead and try to delete them from there.

Let me know if that helps.

Looking for help with managing the storage space in your Dropbox account? Talk to the Dropbox Community and get advice from members.

If you need more help you can view your support options (expected response time for an email or ticket is 24 hours), or contact us on X or Facebook.

For more info on available support options for your Dropbox plan, see this article.
