Says I’m maxed out on storage, but I’m not…

I have 18.25 gigs available that I got for free from several people signing up for a Dropbox account through me. I deleted 90% of everything…and permanently deleted…and it still shows maxed out and no...

I have this issue as well. 2.2Gb used out of 11.38Gb. No, it's not auto backups - I don't have that enabled. If I go to backups, I see an empty screen.

    Hey ianshere - sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

     

    Could you clarify what's shown in your plan page in regards to your quota exactly?

      11.38Gb. 2.2Gb used. It's a basic plan but I did a lot of add-ons to get it to that.

        So you're not near your account's quota limit then ianshere? 

         

        Do you see any files taking up space on your homepage or the sharing tab by any chance?
