    Hi Harlandiy, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    What happens when you try to delete the PDF file from your Dropbox folder on your machine, or from the site directly?

     

    Any other info or screenshots would be helpful!

    Nothing can't even find a delete.  it appears that somehow when I install dropbox this showed up right away.
