I moved ten years ago.
Dropbox has been ignored until most recently but had installed it on this computer ten years ago.
No email connection with that decade old server.
No record of password a decade ago.
No files in that Dropbox on my computer.
I want it OFF my computer so I could start all over again.

-Unlink the current Dropbox
-Delete the Dropbox folder

-Either log in with your new account or use the option to set up a new one.
