      <title>Removing Dropbox from old computer</title>
      <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Security-and-Permissions/Removing-Dropbox-from-old-computer/m-p/129166#M139</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;I recently bought a new computer.&amp;nbsp; I set it up with my existing DB account.&amp;nbsp; It synced all the files.&amp;nbsp; Everything is fine.&amp;nbsp; I now want to disconnect the old computer from DB.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;1)&amp;nbsp; If I delete the DB folder from the old computer, will it delete all my files from the cloud and from the new computer?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;2)&amp;nbsp; If I format the drive on the old computer, will it delete all my files from the cloud and from the new computer?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;3)&amp;nbsp; How can I keep all the files on the old computer, but not have them connected to my Dropbox account?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;THANKS!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;The answer to question 1 is ....Yes!&amp;nbsp; The deletes are "synced".&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Q2: reformating removes the dropbox client and so nothing happens.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;So, first you "unlink the old computer" from the dropbox account then you can keep old files, reformat, whatever.&amp;nbsp; Look at &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/account#security" rel="nofollow noreferrer"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/account#security&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;and find under "devices" the old computer.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;1) You can delete your old computer from your Dropbox account settings as mentioned above Rick or just uninstall from control panel. Nothing will be deleted from server.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;2) No, nothing will be deleted.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;3) Just copy your &amp;nbsp;Dropbox folder to another location f. e. partition D on your hard drive.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;But (3) if you were to MOVE dropbox folder to, say, &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://www.dropboxforum.com/html/@F7531EA35538CE5B4D02D94671C48700/emoticons/1f627.png" alt=":anguished_face:" title=":anguished_face:" /&gt; then dropbox would see a massive delete!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
