Windows 11 - How do I completely delete the Dropbox program and all the Dropbox program files?

I have used Dropbox for years and I love it, however, I upgraded to a New Desktop PC with Windows 11 Home.  I could not get Dropbox to run.

I tried the usual Uninstall Program feature in Windows but Dropbox would fail to uninstall.

Please tell me how I can remove all Dropbox Program files on the drive as well as in the Registry so I can attempt to install a fresh Dropbox Installation.

I'm not worried about the files I had in Dropbox as I have them backed up elsewhere. 

Thanks in advance for your help.

I resolved my issue by downloading and running the "Dropbox 171.4.6182 Offline Installer.x86.exe".

It looks like I'm back in business with DropBox!!

Take care and God bless - Buzz

Thanks for posting on our forum, @Buzzm!

 

As a first, can you send me a screenshot of what you see exactly when trying to remove the Dropbox app from your Windows device? That’ll help me assist you further.

 

Let me know when you’re ready.
