Unable to delete account (Error 500)

Question or Issue
When I try to delete the account, I get an error 500 error on the last step.  I do not have any pending downgrade from a higher tier, and I have tried on several browsers over several days.  Screenshot below:

    After some back and forth with support, they were finally able to remove my dropbox account for me by my request.  Thank you!

    Hey jhurtado​, thanks for the heads up! 

    I definitely see where you're coming from, and how important that is to you. 

    I deeply appreciate your patience while our team is working to resolve this. I've left an internal note for the agent working on your case.

    Hang tight, and they'll get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you so much!

    I had some initial contact from support via email, but have not received any additional communication since last Tuesday.  I'm still having the same issue.

    Hey there jhurtado​ - thanks for flagging this with us.

    Since this persists across multiple web browsers, I've just gone ahead and sent you an email to have a further look internally, so please take a glance at your inbox and we'll take it from there.

    Thanks!
