Dropboxuninstall.exe cannot be found
I need to uninstall the dropbox desktop app so I can reinstall it in a different location but when I tried to use window 10's 'add or remove programs' setting I got an error stating windows couldn't find 'Dropboxuninstaller.exe'. I checked in Dropbox's file in program files (x86) and there is indeed no uninstaller.
To try and fix this I attempted to install dropbox again, hoping it would fix the problem but the installer fails to start.
Anyone know how to fix this?

Hey there Sirspam - sorry to hear about this.
In that case, I'd suggest a clean, advanced re-install.
Let me know how it goes!
Thanks for the quick reply!
At step 4, after skipping step 2, I'm struggling to uninstall one file called 'DropboxExt64.27.0.dll' located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Dropbox\Client. According to windows it's because the file is open in Windows Explorer. I've checked task manager and theres no dropbox related processes running.

Thanks for the swift response Sirspam - much appreciated!
At this point, in order to fix this issue, would you mind opening the "Task Manager" by right-clicking the taskbar and clicking "Start Task Manager"? Then please click on the "Processes" tab to see if there are any other processes associated with Dropbox that may be preventing Dropbox from being removed from your device. You may need to click "Show processes from all users" to check all processes.
Once you are viewing these processes, if you see any items that refer to Dropbox, or recognize any programs that you may have linked to Dropbox, please perform the following steps for each applicable process:
- Click on the line that references the process to select it
- Click on "End Process"
If you can't find any, please send me a screenshot of all the process you see on your task manager so I can have a look too.
