Is there a way to delete all my files and then install Dropbox from scratch?
Is there a way to delete all my files and then install Dropbox from scratch rather than wait forever to have Dropbox do a minimal Selective Sync? I simply want to start over and not do an advanced reinstall.

You asked how to delete all files but you don't want to delete them from Dropbox? You only want to delete them from your computer?
What, exactly, are you trying to do?
