How do I remove the Dropbox icon from the Windows 10 file explorer?

Since upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10, there is a Dropbox icon in the Windows file explorer navigation pane.  I already have a link to Dropbox and other cloud-storage options in the Quick link...

I have the same issues as everyone else here. Why do I want a dropbox application link in windows explorer? That should be my choice.

Its made worse by the fact that I have multiple business accounts I have been given access to and it seems random which one's name is showing in explorer. When I sign in/out to move accounst explorer does not update either

Its bad enough I that drop box adds stupid badges to MS office but forcing the application linbk into explorer is realy annoying.

    The icon i need to evacuate are not in the quick access area. The quick access section is at the best I need to expel icon from the base Desktop section. My desktop folder have nothing as i mentioned above and in this photo so the icon ought not show up in the route sheet. Yes you may get help with file explorer in windows 10 to follow this site because i have personally good experince with it.
