2 Dropbox identical Folders: Dropbox System Folder and Dropbox File Folder - Which on to delete?

2 Dropbox identical Folders: Dropbox System Folder and Dropbox File Folder - Which on to delete?

HVS
Explorer | Level 4

For some unknown reason, I have now 2 identical folders (with same size) in my PC and I am only one person and one sign in.

Can I delete one of them to eliminate the duplicate? And if so, which one of them?...

Any suggestion or hint will be much welcome, thank you!

Are you sure they're two separate folders, and one isn't just a link to the other? If you add or delete a file in one, is it visible in the other? If so, you likely have one folder with the other being a symlink (or similar) that points to the original.
