Cannot upload to dropbox. Dropbox says "Quota Exceeded"

Dropbox tells me that I am "over quota" when it attempts to upload. My Dropbox is completely empty, yet it says that I am using 2.3 GB out of 2.0 GB of space. I am assuming that it is taking into consideration the space in the Antbots (1) folder. I am wondering if the other students are experiencing the same problem. These are the steps i took so maybe somebody else can reproduce this: 1) Navigated to my folder 2) Click on the upload button 3) browse for the bot or change log text file 4) immediately, the upload fails My Dropbox account allows me to have 2.0 GBs of storage. I have zero files besides the default folders, and the Antbot (1) folder which we added manually in class on the first week. This was working fine last week.

"Your upload failed because you are over quota"

I am trying to upload my Bot, but I cannot. Dropbox tells me that I am "over quota" when it attempts to upload. My Dropbox is completely empty, yet it says that I am using 2.3 GB out of 2.0 GB of space. I am assuming that it is taking into consideration the space in the Antbots (1) folder. I am wondering if the other students are experiencing the same problem.

These are the steps i took so maybe somebody else can reproduce this:
1) Navigated to my folder
2) Click on the upload button
3) browse for the bot or change log text file
4) immediately, the upload fails

My Dropbox account allows me to have 2.0 GBs of storage. I have zero files besides the default folders, and the Antbot (1) folder which we added manually in class on the first week. This was working fine last week.
