The local Dropbox folder keeps re-appearing, even after deleting it.
I want to totally remove Dropbox from my Windows 11 PC. I have tried all on-line suggestions and the folder still comes back after I delete it. I have turned off the wireless so nothing can update it...

Hello,
Have you attempted to uninstall the program dropbox from your computer. This should remove the file folder for dropbox.
In your search bar search "Remove" then once you open that choose the program you want to remove and uninstall it. This might require a computer restart as it is part of the file folders and sometimes needs to be reset.

Thanks for your reply. I have uninstalled Dropbox with the Dropbox uninstaller, iObit uninstaller and the Windows App uninstall and nothing keeps it from reappearing. I spent several days at this and tried just about every suggestion from online searches. I can delete the folder initially and as soon as it’s rebooted the folder reappears!

Hedwig29, can you send me a full screenshot of the message you keep receiving by Dropbox?
Also, when saying you don’t want to work through Dropbox, do you mean that you’d like to remove the desktop app from your computer?
