I have 2 Dropbox folders. Can I delete the hidden one?

In my Mac Mini there are 2 DropBox folders, the first, which I normally use, under username (267GB); the second, hidden, under username, library, cloudstorage (321GB). Why are there 2? Can I delete ...

Hi there, Sidviciuos, let's jump right into this!

I'm thinking that the case here might be similar to what this article describes. 

If you follow the steps there, can you temporarily choose not to show this folder? Also, does it take up space on the device too?

Let me know more, and we'll take it from there!
