In preferences is shows dropbox folder location as C:/Users/name/Dropbox/Dropbox

If I try and change it to level above it just says dropbox already installed in this location

When you try and move the folder, could you try moving it to  C:/Users/name/, as this will then create the Dropbox folder name itself?

      Could you try moving the Dropbox folder to another location entirely, let the move complete entirely, and then see what's left in the C:/Users/name/Dropbox location?
