I ran past my storage allocation with Dropbox yesterday.
After cleaning-up my folder, I have plenty of space again.
However, Dropbox shows that it cannot sync a file because there is no space, yet when I check the website or other machines linked, I see the file there - with a green check.
Is there a way to clear this message?
Can't sync "7linux_tuning.mp3": out of space in your Dropbox
But I am only using:
93.6% of 6.2 GB used
The file in question is only 30MB, and should fit fine (and, in fact, does).
I have 100G free on the local drive – warren – 2012-09-14T16:55:03.157
Okay. That's good. Have you cleared the Dropbox cache? This is the path in Windows Explorer (assuming you're using Windows 7) %HOMEPATH%\Dropbox.dropbox.cache type that line in the location bar in Windows Explorer and it should take you to the dropbox cache folder. The cache folder is deleted automatically every 3 days, but if you just recently deleted a lot of files this could be taking up valuable space in your dropbox folder. – Art.Vandelay05 – 2012-09-14T16:58:56.100
did not know about the
%HOMEPATH%\Dropbox\.dropbox.cache
trick - that solved this problem :) .. I had a dir from June hanging out plus three more from this week – warren – 2012-09-14T17:05:25.0501
I periodically delete everything in my

by adding it as a custom folder to be cleaned in my CCleaner settings. Also not that you can move your Dropbox folder anywhere -- like out of the default Windows subdirectory it's put in by default.Excellent! I'm glad I could help. – Art.Vandelay05 – 2012-09-14T17:57:20.260
