Need to uninstall Dropbox, but it re-appears every day

I need to get dropbox off my windows 10 PC everynight. 

It's a pain in the ass.  Is there an easy way to do that?

 

right now, I can't even get the folder to disappear at all.

 

There must be a way to do that.  It's a quasi-public computer.

    Are you going through the uninstall process? You can't just delete the Dropbox folder without uninstalling the application. Well, you can, but that won't remove the application.

      So I need to install and uninstall the app every day? Isn’t that pretty much a total waste of time?

        You should only need to delete the program once. It won't come back on its own, so you're either uninstalling it incorrectly or some other program is reinstalling it every day (which is unlikely).

        Did you follow the steps in the Uninstall Process page that Rich linked? That should remove Dropbox from your computer.
