My Box account is good for up to 50 GB. I went through my files and the file sizes don't sum up that quantity, I am estimating around 20 GB of "ghost data". How can fix this? Is there a way to view the storage breakdown?

    The Contact Support link is a perpetual loop to nowhere. If someone from Box is reading this please reset my storage count as well.

    Thanks.
