Deleting Drop Box from CloudStorage Location (M1 Beta)
After upgrading to new Beta to dropbox for M1, syncing stopped working and finder window start freezing while searching dropbox files.
So I decided to delete Dropbox, but cannot delete this Folder (/Users/Username/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox/) that got created with new Dropbox Beta version, after Unistalling the Dropbox app.

You don't seem to know about this change:
This question is more complicated that it appeared at first. Just tried to delete the ~/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox folder. Hitting CMD-DELETE or using the menu when trying to delete the folder itself results in a "bonk" for blocked operation.
I was able to delete the parent CloudStorage folder, since only Dropbox was inside anyway. However, I cannot empty the trash with "in use" warnings. Have deleted the Dropbox app itself, and rebooted the Mac, with no change in behavior. The trash still won't empty (although the app itself emptied out just fine.)
The Dropbox folder shows as zero bytes in the Trash folder, but really hoping I don't get stuck with these empty folders appearing in the trash forever. Must be some way to release the "in use" feeling of the files.
