    If you have the Dropbox app installed on your computer, you can unlink/log out of your Dropbox app with the steps described here and then, uninstall it from your device with these steps. 

     

    In case you’d like to go ahead and delete your Dropbox account after that, please check this Help Center article (just make sure you’ve downloaded all of your files first, as it won’t be possible to restore anything after you’ve deleted your Dropbox account).
