Hey ReeM Berlin, welcome to our Community!

If you'd like to delete your whole Dropbox folder, the first thing you need to do to ensure that no files will be lost, is to unlink the computer from your account.

You can do that either by deleting the computer from your list of connected devices or by signing out of the Dropbox app on that computer.

Also, you'll find the answer to your other two questions in this article from our Help Center.

If anything is unclear or you need any more info, let me know.

Thanks!
