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?
