That 'delete' is the deletion of of the file from your dropbox account.

Thank you. I have now un-Offlined them one-by-one and cleared the cache. I cleared some other cache locations I could find before that, and a few maps, and freed up 700kb of storage, which took me out of danger, but just barely. When I un-Offlined the rest of the files, which show as 50mb on my desktop, and cleared the cache, I now have another 3gb of free storage, lots of space.
