Desktop client won't uninstall Windows 10
Hi, I have a problem with the desktop app on Windows 10. The app will not run so I tried to re-install, the installer fails with error 2. I then tried to uninstall and the uninstaller fails with the ...
Thanks for the help guys, I got there in the end but it was far from straight forward. I followed the advanced uninstall but that left two files in the client folder (DropboxExt.22.0.dll and DropboxExt64.22.0.dll) that refused to delete. I kept getting 'access denied'. I eventually deleted them by starting Windows 10 in Safe Mode. (Now that's not easy in Win 10!).
With the files removed I ran the offline installer again, same problem, install failed.
Next I seached the registry and removed all references to Dropbox. Restarted Windows and ran the online installer.
Success, I now have a working Dropbox client on my laptop!!

I hate to suggest it, but....
Have you tried restarting?
... I know that can be the worst "advice" to hear, however I think it's very possible that some part of the install process didn't completly disengage - for want of a better word - and this could be impeeding the uninstall.
The Advanced Reinstall instructions above are also an excellent suggestion if it's not as simple as the above.
