A Dropbox icon has replaced the Desktop and Documents icons on macOS

I have Dropbox latest client installed in MacOS.  I don't use the Dropbox backup features for desktop or documents - however it has still taken over these icons in the Finder navigation bar. 

I've tried removing Dropbox, but as soon as I reinstall, the icons revert back.

Does anyone know how to clear / prevent Dropbox from taking over these icons in the Finder navigation bar?
