He could, but that would be less funny and he'd have one less backup.
And it's not his job to delete the files that Dropbox already said they'd throw away.

He paid Dropbox exactly as much money as they asked for, as a normal user in good faith. Dropbox chose to make indefinite cold storage part of the normal plan, rather than have a 3/6/12 month cutoff.
If you offered indefinite cold storage for previous customers, and you were sending emails like this, I wouldn't find it odd at all for someone to post against you.

I find it odd if you ask me to store 2.5 TB in my computer, don’t bother deleting my reminders, and even post against me.
