Hi assma-MU, happy Friday! 

 

I'm happy to confirm, that you're safe to delete your Dropbox cache, and your files in the account will be intact. 

 

I hope that helps. Have a lovely weekend ahead,enjoy!

    the clear catch button is different one and that one I already use 
    I'm asking abt "clear data" one
    my other concern that it might make me loss my log in data on that device. If so it will be difficult to log in again since I already have the account on three other devices.  

    I hope my concern is clear

      Hi assma-MU, the clear data button should clear any login details, so I don't recommend doing that if you're already above the 3 device limit on Dropbox Basic plans.
