2 months agoUnable to delete account. Getting error: "something went wrong, an unknown error occurred".
I am unable to delete my Dropbox account.
created the account with my Apple ID and private relay for email.
when trying to delete from the app, I got an error saying “something went wrong, an unknown error occurred”
trying to delete from chrome and safari, it first made me create a password and then once created and attempting the deletion of the account, it downloads a 0 byte file called “post_delete”….
does anyone have guidance?
