Dropbox Community ModeratorHey there meltelfer, just jumping in here!
This is a rather old thread that you posted in here, and we recently released a beta feature to enable you to backup your Desktop, Documents and Downloads folders.
To delete the folder, we'd need to disable the backup from the device it was enabled on. Can you try the steps outlined towards the bottom of this article and let me know if you can disable the backup?
If you uninstalled/unlinked the desktop app, please try reinstalling it. Also, if the options are appearing as if you haven't enabled this on your computer, then it would suggest the backup was disabled.
In that case, please try moving the contents from the Dropbox Desktop folder back to the actual Desktop.
Let me know how it goes!
Spent the last hour trying to figure out how to unlink "MY PC" from Dropbox Folder. I do not wan't to sync 'everything' on my desktop but just the files I choose. You guys seem to however have made this some sort of default setting (and it's annoying). How do I stop "MY PC" from syncing? doesn't have the delete option.
