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?

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

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.
