Impossible to delete The old Dropbox main folder Windows 10

Problem solved. It was "Widows Search", the indexing sevice that was located in the DropBox Folder and also some documents that was always open (Action Outline documents).
SUGGESTION:
When DropBox cant move the DropBox folder because some files are locked, inform the user of what files. Dropbox do have that information and to not tell the user is ...not a good solution? Without that informatin, how on earth is a normal user expected to deal with that problem?
I solved it by doing a normal copy, and then windows told me what files was the problem. Dropbox should do that, because maybe the user dont have space enogh to make a copy and maybe the user dont know about that workaround.
Hi!
How do you solved the problem exactly? I have an Old Dropbox folder (windows 10) what i can't delete. There are no files in it. When i try to delete it, says: it's not empty.
Thanks.

If Windows is telling you it's not empty, then it's not empty. Do you have hidden and system files visible? It could be that there are hidden files in the folder that you can't see.
Yes, i can see all hidden and system files.
Problem solved. Total Commander deleted it easily.
