Thanks, Jay, I did manage to delete it however it was not Dropbox that was stopping the process, it was Google Drive that was making it impossible have no idea why! I cannot understand how Google Drive put the folder in there in the first place then took control of it. I was thinking like yourself if Dropbox is finished syncing I should be able to delete it, however, I had to stop Google Drive to delete it. All worked in the end! All those pop-up messages also turned out to be saving files in that folder too which is why the folder was getting bigger and bigger and nothing got accidentally deleted. :)

I have a similar issue. I'm a single solo DB user. I have selective sync set to online-only. Within my cloud DB I have 999 conflict folders named:
"tmp.driveupload
(selective sync conflict #". Where # is a number from 1 to 999. If I click on one of those folder I get about 75 files named with random 6 digits.
I also use Google Drive on some of my DB files.
How do I eliminate the 999 folders? Any help is much appreciated.
