How to completely reset Dropbox

I deleted a vast number of files and folders from my dropbox account and then had a problem where the PC sync process has been running for weeks.  I have cleared both the PC and online dropbox stores...

    That seems to have worked thanks.  It would be good if there was a tool to fix the registry as there were 10s of dropbox entries everywhere and it took about 30 minutes to clear.

I too have an issue with Dropbox which I can't seem to resolve, and I too would like to clear my data (or at least my external backed up drive) to perform a new sync. I can't seem to find a good way to do this either.
