Box reportedly taking up double the space of my files

Question

du -sh ~/Library/CloudStorage/Box-Box
\296G /Users/kevinluk/Library/CloudStorage/Box-Box

So reportedly it's using 296G of local storage.

defaults write com.box.desktop MaximumCacheAge -int 1
defaults write com.box.desktop MaximumCacheSize -int 100

And still it says 296G. So I'm assuming this is because "Files marked for offline access do not count against this limit."

But I also have a folder at /Users/<USERNAME>/Library/Application Support/Box/Box/cache that is taking up over 500GB.

I've restarted Box and my computer multiple times, how can I limit Box from taking up my space?
