    Hi BjornD, thanks for posting today.

     

    If you want to delete a file on your Dropbox account, this deletion would be synced to all your connected devices.

     

    You can delete a file from the site, Dropbox folder or mobile app by following these steps.

     

    Let me know how it goes!
