Dropbox Community ModeratorHey Dave C.49 - sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
When you say files that never made it to Dropbox online, are you referring to files that you had copied or moved into your Dropbox folder before performing the upgrade from your old Mac OS?
Also, when you say you can't use the terminal to delete the Dropbox folders, are you referring to the advanced reinstall?
Let us know more information and we'll take it from there.
