How do I remove my Dropbox files from an old employer's computer?
How do I remove my Dropbox files from an old employer's computer and remove so that it will no longer link to my files and will not affect my files on my personal computer?
Thank you very much!
Hi Hannah:
Thank you.
Yes, I am currently a paid account.
Therefore, do I somehow delete the folders and files first? And then delete the computer from my devices? IMPORTANT: How do I know for sure that all of the folders and files, my personal folders and files, have been completely deleted BEFORE I delete that computer so that it will no longer sync with my folders and files? And not sync them back on to the computer? I do not want to delete the computer until all of the folders and files have been completely deleted!!!
Please, please, how do I know that all of the folders and files have been deleted from the computer (Hard Drive) and are never accessible again? Please advise.
Thank you very much for your excellent advice!

Dropbox Community ModeratorHey again, @MLGGLM!
Do you currently have access to that computer or not any more?

Hey MLGGLM - in this case, you can use the steps outlined in this Help Center article to remote wipes from that device.
