Hi Dave!
There are different ways to do this.
1st solution.
Since you are leaving your actual job, you can delete the files on your work computer, and still preserve the files in your DB (and thus on your home computer), by first logging out from the dropbox application on your work computer, and then deleting the files on your work computer.
2nd solution.
Use selective sync: see https://help.dropbox.com/installs-integrations/sync-uploads/selective-sync-overview

Hey Dave35, Happy Thursday! I hope you're doing well.
steg1 explained it amazingly.
You're not wrong to believe that if you delete the content, while both devices are in sync, that would delete your content.
However, all you'd have to do on your work computer is to make sure the Dropbox desktop application is uninstalled.
Once that's done, you can safely remove and delete all of your content, without affecting your folders or files online.
Can you give this a go, and keep me posted?
