Why are all my links still active, even after I deleted my Dropbox account?
All of my shared links and files are still downloadable to people I sent the links too even after I have deleted the folders and my dropbox account. When will they finally go away?

It is shared from the same account/ exact same link I used before. It evens says my account in incognito mode. Still not down.

If it isnt showing at http://www.dropbox.com/links then the link isnt from the account you are logged in as. So, if the link is still working its coming from a different account.

When I click on those exact same links that I created, it evens says my account in incognito mode, not shared by someone else.

Hi from me as well, LB3444.
Can you clarify what you mean when saying that you can see your account when opening these links via incognito mode?
Please also send me a screenshot of what you see, so that I can take a look (unless there’s private info you don’t wish to share here).

What do you mean it says your account?
Dropbox cannot show files that are not uploaded to its servers. Deleting an account deletes all files. So if the account they were uploaded from was deleted the links would automatically fail. The fact they are not failing means the account they are on hasnt been deleted.
