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 Dropbox community
I temporarily installed Dropbox on a public computer so as to be able to access and use my files. However, I would like to remove these files, as well as uninstall Dropbox from this computer. My question is: would uninstalling dropbox on the public computer and deleting the files from here delete my files from the Dropbox server as well? If so, how can I only delete the files on this local machine? Thank you!

Hey skuchukh1, thanks for joining us on the Dropbox Community.
To safely delete both the Dropbox app and the Dropbox folder from a computer, you'll first need to unlink it from your account.
To unlink it, either sign out of the app or delete it from your connected devices.
Then you can manually delete the Dropbox folder and uninstall the Dropbox app, without affecting your files on the Dropbox server.
I hope this helps!
