Hi there, n00ne224, thanks for joining our Community.

We do offer a remote wipe feature, which is a feature that's currently available to our paid plans.

If you're on a free plan, while you won't be able to wipe the files, you can still remove the computer from your connected devices by following the same steps, so that the computer will stop syncing to your account.

I hope this helps, but if you have more questions, please let me know.
