Hey dbushn2, thanks for reaching out to the Dropbox Community.

 

These look like suggestions of people you can share your files with.

 

Perhaps it was an old colleague/client that shared some files with you in the past?

 

If you click on 'clear' next to your manually added contacts on this page, does it help?

 

Keep me posted.

      You won't see the names, but if you hit 'clear', do the suggestions get erased?

        I hit clear but the name is still there.

        I take that back!!!!

        Logged out and back in and that name is gone.

        Thanks
