Every time I open the dropbox app on mac I get this prompt

The problem is the path it should be /User/Kylemickan/.dropbox not /User/Kylemickan 1/.dropbox which no longer exists there is a .dropbox folder in the proper user folder how do I make the app point to the right folder?

I have solved this myself.

 

I deleted the .dropbox folder from my user folder. I also deleted the hidden files (Press cmd+shift+. to show) from my dropbox folder after reopening the dropbox app I went through the setup prompts I selected the old dropbox folder and everything works fine now.
