How do I delete backed up files?

I have Dropbox Basic. I accidently initiated Dropbox Backup but cancelled it when I realized it was filling up the storage space. Forum articles say go to the "Backup" tab under "Preferences" to delete the backup files, but I have no "Backup" tab. How do I delete the files?
