    If you don’t want it to sync, do you want to move the 1Password file out of your Dropbox folder? Are you trying to store it on another cloud service, or just on your local machine?
     
    If you don’t want it to sync at all or not use 1Password again, you could technically delete the entire 1Password folder via the Dropbox site. Obviously this might delete your password database, so I recommend caution if this isn’t what you want.
     
    Let me know more so I can assist further.

Sorry Jay, I just can't reply you with a screen shot. Every time I try to drag a file to the "drag files here" box, the page crashes. Maybe a Mojave issue, I don't know. I am now using 1P7 and synching via the Agile, or Apple cloud. I disassociated the link between Dropbox and 1P on the settings page of my account with Dropbox, which I'm continuing to use as the app to sync XL files, etc. I'm just really perplexed why there remains a folder in my Dropbox called Apps that contains an 11MB file of my 1P app! If I disassociated the link, then why does the app remain? Is it there in case I switch back to DB for 1P? I am leery of just dragging it to the trash.

As you said, unlinking the app doesn’t automatically delete the data. You can do this yourself by moving it to the trash, or if you’re uncertain, out of your Dropbox folder to another location.
 
If you notice any problems with your 1Password app afterwards, then most likely it was still using that database from the Dropbox folder.
