Hey Pomogacs, let's see what we can find on this!
It seems you enabled Computer backup on your end.
Have you also emptied your device's trash after deleting the content?
If you search in your File Explorer for an example file name, are you able to locate any files? Let me know if you're also able to see the content in Dropbox.

Hey!
Im not sure, because I stopped manually, when dropbox wanted to upload my dekstop.
No, I didn't delete anything from the trash. And the file explorer found nothing.
When I deleted my desktop via the dropbox link, the system throw a window about the "files are too large" or something else, and would you like to delete it, I pressed yes, beause I tought, I will delete only from dropbox.
