&lt;P&gt;Just remember that a remote wipe is not guaranteed to remove the files. Dropbox can't remote wipe the files until the computer goes online. If the device is powered up and accessed while off the Internet, they could still get to the files. Or if Dropbox is prevented from running while the computer is online, it won't be wiped.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;It's all dependent on the computer being online with the Dropbox application running. If either of those don't happen, the remote wipe will fail.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hey &lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1576604"&gt;@210&lt;/a&gt;, thanks for posting your question and sorry to hear about this.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Have you already removed the device from your connected devices in your &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/account/security" target="_blank"&gt;account settings&lt;/A&gt;?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If you have, I'm afraid it won't work, even if you upgrade your account.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;But if you haven't unlinked it yet, you should be able to use &lt;A href="https://help.dropbox.com/delete-restore/delete-dropbox-device" target="_blank"&gt;remote wipe&lt;/A&gt; 'retroactively', if you upgrade now.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Let me know how it goes.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
