My Desktop has been moved into Dropbox, what can I do to remove it?

I did an update for dropbox and it wanted to merge folders with my desktop. Didn't read much into it and now I wiped my laptop. I had very important work on it too. Please help 😕

I believe you must be referring to our Computer backup, right? Here are the steps if you want to disable it, and move your content back. 

 

If you have more questions, let me know.
