Re: I changed the letters of my drives and now I get an error when deleting them from Dropbox Backup.

Hi Jay, thanks for the suggestions. Yes I was able to delete those drives.

However something is wrong with the DB software, because I have chosen only one empty folder to be backed up, on those drives, for future use. But in both cases the whole drive was backed up. One of them consisting of 4.5 GB data. I did not ask for this. Thanks again AdibA.....

    What happens when you attempt to disable the other folders from the backup when you manage the backup directly?

    Yes, I have tried that. First it appeared to be working, but after about a minute I got an error message, that it was not able to change that, so all folders were still checked as being backed up. But this is not an issue now because I have deleted all those drives from the Backup. Thanks for your help! AdibA
