Dropbox Community ModeratorHey DoctorBashir - thanks for letting us know about this.
Just to clarify, are you using the steps outlined here to do this? Have you tried deleting those entries manually by the way?
Let me know more and we'll take it from there.
I'm glad to hear from you. Yes, I followed that process. That process does not remove the components of the DbxSvc service. When that uninstall process is completed, the DbxSvc service is still installed and running. that causes the two errors to still be logged after completing the process.
The files in the remaining C:\Windows folder should almost never be remove 'manually' i.e., just deleting them.
I resorted to the following command to remove the files for that service:
Get-Package -Name Dropbox Update Helper | Uninstall-Package
Get-Package -Name HP Dropbox Plugin | Uninstall-Package
Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase
This is the only safe way to remove them. The third Dism command removed one of the set of files in the WinSxS folder. C:Windows\System32\SecureBootUpdates was not removed. I don't know how to remove the remaining files.
Even after all this, there are many, many Registry Keys still present.
