How do I delete folders from Dropbox without simultaneously deleting them from my laptop's hard drive?

Hi montanw, welcome to our Community! 

 

You mentioned that you want to delete folders from your Dropbox account, without deleting them off of your hard drive. 

 

To begin with, do you have the desktop app installed on your device?

 

Are you referring to your Backup folders, by any chance or just random folders inside your Dropbox folder?

 

Let me know more, and we'll take it from there!
