The desktop app doesn't get removed, it's stuck when trying to remove it.

Hi Rob Meijer, let's jump right into this! 

As a first step, can you clarify the version of the OS you're using on your end? 

If you could also let me know more in regards to the app's version, and its syncing status, that'd be amazing. 

Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there! 

Thank you for yiour promt reply.

- Windows 11 Pro

 - Not sure where I can find the version #

 - Synch status is unknown as there is no Dropbox icon in the hidden applications

Hi Rob Meijer, thanks for the info! 

Have you checked your programs to make sure the app is still installed to your device?

Would you also mind opening the "Task Manager" by right-clicking the taskbar and clicking "Start Task Manager". Then please click on the "Processes" tab to see if there are any other processes associated with Dropbox that may be preventing Dropbox from being removed from your device. 

Once you are viewing these processes, if you see any items that refer to Dropbox, or recognize any programs that you may have linked to Dropbox, please perform the following steps for each applicable process:

- Click on the line that references the process to select it
- Click on "End Process"

After you've done so, please try to follow the normal uninstall instructions.

Dropbox update and dropbox service were visible and I stopped it.

Tried to uninstall, it stopped.

Will reboor and try again.

Thanks for keeping us in the loop Rob Meijer - please let us know of any updates when you get the chance. 

No luck, after reboot is stopped as well.

In that case, can you give these steps a go and let us know how it goes Rob Meijer? 

All steps have been done, please note:

In %PROGRAMFILES%” there is no folder Dropbox.

In %PROGRAMFILES(x86)%”, I can't delete the folder due to a file or folder being open. However, there is no file or folder open at all.

Hi Rob Meijer, are you able to boot into Safe Mode in Windows 11, and delete the folder while in that mode?
