I've unshared many folders, permanently deleted lots of files but dropbox still reports that it is full. How can I free up space? I've already followed dropbox instructions with no results
Permanently deleting files isn't needed to clear space. Simply deleting them is enough. Files in the Deleted Files section do not count against your storage quota.
If Dropbox is saying your account is full, then it's still full. You need to remove enough files to bring your account back below your quota before that message will go away. It could be that you're still a member of a large share that just keeps filling your account as you make more room.
You can verify your storage usage on your Account page. It will show you a breakdown of what's using your storage (regular files, shared files, etc.), which hat may help you identify files that you can remove to free up some more space.
To free up space, you do not need to delete files permanently. Just deleting them is enough. Deleted files do not count against your storage quota.

I really enjoyed going through all the great information.
Gracias!!
invite your friend to become dropbox new user.
Thanks, Jay, the shared folders were not the pbm. But I did get help from support and size of file was the cue. In fact I had made a couple of videos after deleting 700 files and did not bother to check their sizes. Dropbox was right, I was over my allotted size but did not give me enough info to figure out what was going on. Checking folders for individual file sizes did the trick. Deleted the videos and now everything is running fine again. 🙂
make sure that you dont have the same file saved on hard drive to save space
I’ve deleted a number of files and their folders but my storage space amount is showing I have more space. What’s up with that?
I received a notice that my box is full. True. How do I show a listing of folders that shows the space usage of each folder? It would help me quickly decide where to start deleting content. [aside]Why is it impossible to submit a support request to Dropbox support? The "chat" dropbot was singularly useless.[/aside]]
I'm new to this. I set up a Dropbox account, and the first message I see tells me that my Dropbox is full. How? I didn't do anything to put files into a folder. So, where are these files, and how do I get rid of them to start again?
Hey @Stephen Allen, I hope you're having a great Friday!You can verify your storage usage on your Account page. It will show you a breakdown of what's using your storage (regular files, shared files, etc.).Could it be that you're a member of a large shared folder that just keeps filling your account?Let me know more on this!
Its easy to do it
well there are a couple of ways firstly you can try compressing your files this reduces the space of your existing file and also deleting things that are no longer in use is a great way of getting some more space.
It's easy to do? So easy that you can't be bothered to even start to tell me how? Thanks for absolutely nothing. What is your job there?To review questions from users but not to answer them because it's more fun to annoy them?
I have deleted most of my photos after Dropbox says I have no more space, but it still tells me I am full up.Why?
salve , normalmente zippo le cartelle che utilizzo di meno cosi libero un po' di spazio
Try moving out DropBox the folder, uninstalling the app, and reinstalling it and then reincorporate the moved folder.
i want free up mu dropbox freely thanks
how can i delete regular files from dropbox to free up space? I can only find the shared files and they take up hardly any space, but the regular files are overflowing my space and I don't know what these files are because those files don't show up in my account.
