I didn't re-install. I realised dropbox would just leave all the stuff there so I made sure I had a backup and then deleted the folder using daisy disk (an app). 

 

Dropbox didn't need this folder and it was, for me at least, a hangover from the previous version of dropbox that worked in a different way. 

 

Don't do anything without having a proper backup though. I recommend backblaze which is about 6 dollars a month.
