Re: Can I remove files from my computer but not delete them?

Cleaning off my computer to sell. All files backed up to Dropbox but my files on my computer hard drive still indicate that they are in drop box. How do I erase them on my computer but keep them in Drop box? Do I take Drop box off the computer before deleting the files?
