    Hi spikejj--, thanks for posting today!

    You can delete files from your Dropbox account by deleting them from the Dropbox folder on your machine, if the Dropbox desktop application is installed.

    Otherwise, you can delete them from the Dropbox site, which would then delete them from all connected devices.

    If you need any further assistance, please let me know!

How the heck do I delete files?! One that no longer interest me.
And I think I’ve duplicated some by mistake! I need to free up some storage space
