I didn't unlink my old devices and now I've reached the 3-device limit. How can I remove them?
I owned two computers. I had installed Dropbox basic on both. Then I recently purchased two new, replacement computers and trashed those old ones (before unlinking the Dropbox account from either one). I realize now (and I should have realized then) what a stupid thing that was.
I downloaded the Dropbox app and installation went fine on one of the new, replacement computers. When I attempted to install Dropbox on the second new computer, I received a message that said I already had reached the maximum 3 computers linked to my Dropbox account.
Since the old computers no longer exist, is there now any way to Unlink those devices from my Dropbox account?

Yes, you can remove any device from your account on your Security page.
