Random user showing up when I click "assign" in my Dropbox Paper document

Hi, I've noticed [email address removed per the Dropbox Community Guidelines] shows up as an option when @-ing someone in dropbox paper.. I've never seen or knew of anyone with that name and email before much less shared anything with them.. how do i get them removed from the dropdown?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

    Hey mitsukiyouko555, thanks for reaching out to us.

     

    Is it possible that you shared files with this person at some point and forgot?

     

    And does it help if you clear your manually added contacts from your Dropbox settings and also clear your browser's cache

     

    Keep me posted.
