How do I delete a dropbox backup of my mac?
I have paused the backup of my Mac, which I didn't ask dropbox to do, now I want to delete the backup, how do I do that? I just says it has been disabled.

Note that Dropbox can't enable the backup option on its own. Either you went into Preferences and enabled it, or you clicked through the prompts during installation and opted in. It can't just enable itself.
- Thank you, I have now sorted the problem.
I did not order that Dropbox do my backups, but now it is. I just want to stop Dropbox from doing my backups but not lose my files. How do I do that?
