    When you delete your account, it's gone immediately. It cannot be recovered. Dropbox will never use your files. Please stop asking the same question over and over again or you could find that your posts are removed.

    Hey, abhimanyu! Initially, please note that I’ve removed your email for privacy and security purposes. 
     
    Moving on to your concern, please note that if you’d like to delete your account, for security purposes, we ask that users cancel their own accounts. Please follow this link if you’re looking to do so. 
     
    Please bear in mind that once you've canceled your account, there is no way for you or Dropbox to recover that account, so ensure that any files you want to keep from your account are saved to your computer before you cancel your account.
     
    If you’re still encountering some trouble with your account, due to account-specific and sensitive info required, please contact our Support team via email. Cheers! :upside_down:
