how to reset/format my dropbox storage

Hi,

i encounter a problem with my Dropbox, its shows that it's 84% full although i deleted all my Dropbox context by the WEB interface.

in order to resolve the issue - i did the following, w/o a lot of success 😞

1) i signed out from my computer and mobile applications

2) deleted all content from the WEB

3) signed in again to desktop and mobile, and verified that they are empty

4) checked the storage usage - still no change

5) went over other similar problems in the Dropbox community w/o any luck.

my question is:
how can i format/reset/clear all my dropbox content so it will show no usage?

thanks ahead for any assistance and advice.
