How to Remove Passwords App and Vaults?

Hi,
I clicked ok when Dropbox suggested I download both of these. I now realise I need neither of them, and they clutter up my Dropbox folders and cannot be moved. How to uninstall/unlink/unsubscribe please? I’ve asked Dropbox support on twitter but they have been no help, just asking me to send more and more of my private information, which sounds suspect.
Thanks,
Rory

    I installed the Dropbox app on my MAC, and now want to purge it.  It is putting user name & passwords onto secure and sensitive pages.  How do I purge it and turn off the password feature?

    Do you mean that you installed the Dropbox Passwords browser extension, WCMan?

     

    If you've saved some passwords on the Passwords extension, but you no longer want to use this, you can remove the passwords you saved, by following the steps here.

    Thank you, I could not find an ellipsis, but it got me clicking in the right direction.  Sensitive stuff purged.
