    I managed to fix it myself.  I deleted as many folders as I could from the dropbox program folder.  I also cleared up as much space on my C drive as I could.  The unistall then went smoothly and then so did the install.  Problem solved.

I noticed that the dropbox icon was not in my apps tray, so I tried to start it manually, clicking the icon on my desktop. Nothing happens

I'm running Windows 10.

 

Any ideas?
