Cancel an account from an email address that is no longer active

I have an old account that i do not use anymore.  But I cannot cancel the account because the email adres is no longer active. What can i do to prevent misusage by other people that take over my old domain-name?

    Is this a paid account that has an active subscription that you're trying to cancel? If so, visit the Support page while you're NOT signed in to a Dropbox account, including these forums, and you'll see an option for Billing issues. It's best to use an Incognito or Private browsing session to make sure you're not signed in.
