How do I delete the Dropbox icon from my Quick Access on Windows?

I don't know if there's something wrong with me, but I genuinely don't know what to do. I'm not using Dropbox currently, so I deleted it from my computer (via Control Panel) and everything is fine....

Oh wow, that's a fast answer.

I would like to remove Quick Access option. I have already manually deleted my Dropbox folder and after doing so I can't do anything about the mentioned icon as I'm getting the error saying that "Location is no longer available".

EDIT: I just realised that the topic name may be little confusing, sorry for that.

Hi Martin87, no worries, I just edited the title of the post for you. 😀

In regards to the Quick Access, that's something Windows related, and not directly Dropbox-related.

I did some research online on my end for you, and found these steps, let me know if they help.
