    <description>&lt;P&gt;I have an account with an old email address I am not using anymore, on top of that I also forgot my password. So I would just like to delete the account altogether or change the email address or password.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Anyone who can help me with this?!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>Hi &lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1468917"&gt;@Mams2&lt;/a&gt; - welcome to the Community!&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
Can you please clarify if you're logged into that account on any of your devices or web browsers?&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
Also, is the associated email address in use now? Are you able to gain access to that email address?&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
Let me know and we'll take it from there.&amp;nbsp;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Yes I am logged in on my phone and my laptop, but it won't give me notifications on any of them when I say I forgot my password.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;And I tried to gain access to the email address, but someone else seems to have it in use now.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>Hi &lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1468917"&gt;@Mams2&lt;/a&gt;, sorry to jump in here. I hope you're doing well today!&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
Since you're connected to your laptop and phone, the best course of action would be for you to download your content, then start a new Dropbox account.&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
If you don't have access to either your email or password, then you can't update your account's settings.&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
You can let your old account automatically close after some time &lt;A href="https://help.dropbox.com/accounts-billing/settings-sign-in/email-about-inactive-account" target="_blank"&gt;inactive&lt;/A&gt;.</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I have an old Dropbox account that is using Sign-in from Google .&amp;nbsp; I am trying to delete the account as I want to associate my email address to my active Dropbox account.&amp;nbsp; I cannot delete the account nor can I change the email address on the old Dropbox account as it prompts me for a password.&amp;nbsp; I tried the password associated with Google but that does not work.&amp;nbsp; Can someone point me in the right direction please?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Ok I think I found the solution.&amp;nbsp; If you used an externally validated login service such as Google to login to your Dropbox account, deleting your account or changing the email address associated with your account may be a challenge.&amp;nbsp; The reason is that Dropbox prompts you for a password which presumably is used to attempt to validate your credentials using the external service.&amp;nbsp; I suspect this won't work because it needs to send more than just the password.&amp;nbsp; If you change your password, then you go through the process of moving your security validation to the standard username/password type as opposed to utilizing the external service.&amp;nbsp; This will allow you to delete your account.&amp;nbsp; This worked for me.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>Hey &lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1497856"&gt;@DanWeiss&lt;/a&gt;, I'd be happy to answer this for you!&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
Since you don't remember the password for the account, the best way to go about it would be for you to create a new one.&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
If you're connected to your old Dropbox account, you can then move any files you want to the new one.&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
Also keep in mind that if you don't use your Dropbox account, it'll be deleted automatically after a year of &lt;A href="https://help.dropbox.com/accounts-billing/settings-sign-in/email-about-inactive-account" target="_blank"&gt;inactivity&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;BR /&gt;
&lt;BR /&gt;
I hope that this helps.</description>
