Apps and Installations
Have a question about a Dropbox app or installation? Reach out to the Dropbox Community and get solutions, help, and advice from members.
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!!

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.
