Sorry to hear about the trouble with Selective Sync. Here are some additional steps to try:
Move Dropbox Folder:
- Try moving the Dropbox folder to a different location, such as the Library folder. Go to Dropbox Preferences > Sync > Move.
Reindex Spotlight:
- Reindex Spotlight to ensure your Mac is recognizing the freed-up space. Go to System Preferences > Spotlight > Privacy, add your hard drive, then remove it to trigger reindexing.
Clear Dropbox Cache:
- Delete the contents of ~/Dropbox/.dropbox.cache to clear temporary files that might be taking up space.

- Use a disk space analyzer tool (like DaisyDisk) to see what's consuming space on your hard drive.
If these steps don’t resolve the issue, it might be worth reaching out to Apple for further assistance, as it could be a macOS-related issue.
