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.
Regards Keith
Hi Walter,
I uninstalled and reinstalled dropbox, still the same symptoms, dropbox starts runs for an hour or so syncing over a million files that now don't exist anywhere, crashes and restarts. I would be ok with both online and offline stores being completely wiped clear. Then starting afresh.
Thanks Keith

Dropbox StaffIn that case, can you also attempt a clean, advanced reinstall?
If the same issue occurs, please send me a screenshot so that I can have a visual too.
Thanks so much, Keith!
EDIT: tiasg If you enabled the computer backup, you'll need to disable it using these steps. Uninstalling or reinstalling the desktop app wouldn't help much in this case.
