Hi again,

I thought I had managed this, but it's back... 

I've been waiting for the new backup to happen, but it's VERY flaky and after days and days on and off, still hadn't concluded fully uploading the backup.

So I decided to cancel this all, switched off the backup option, and deleted all backups, and purging deleted backups..

And now.. it persists! Even though there is NO backup on the dropbox site, nor is there set to backup, it is downloading AND uploading this same backup at the same time! see screenshot.

I have closed the app, restarted, even disconnected the drive completely, then even went so far as to clearing DB cache (%HOMEPATH%\Dropbox\.dropbox.cache) and renamed (%APPDATA%\Dropbox), to force it so start from scratch.. NOTHING WORKS

PLEASE HELP - I AM UTTERLY SICK OF THIS
