After removing all files and now with only 2 files, my account shows 9.5GB out of 10GB used. Looks like, this issue is a known one for the past 3 years for the box team. Pls help. 
Will deleting and recreating the account help? Or is it not allowed?

Also, the 'support' by box is so confusing. Is there a mail id to which we can raise complaints?

    Hi Rona,

    Thanks for helping me 4 months ago. The problem has recurred again after 4 months. I have cleared files. But the storage is still showing 8gb. Pls HELP!

    Couldn't figure out how to raise the issue at the link (https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043695334-Storage-Usage-Or-File-Count-In-My-Account-Is-Incorrect) you provided above. Shall read again and try to raise the issue there  too

    Hi Rona,

    I tried to figure out how to raise the issue but reached a page with 3 suggested cases which got me confused.(Screenshot below) ...

    Apologies for my inability to locate how to raise this issue there. Hope you will notice my request above and do the needful...
