How can I move my computer files back to their original location?

How can I move my computer files back to their original location?

I wasn't really using Dropbox anymore so I decided to delete my account, but when I did, all of the files on my PC have been moved to Dropbox files, and while I can still directly access them, for programs such as Eclipse I can not. Is there any way to move these files back to the original folders (which are still present), as I am a little confused by the shortcuts that Dropbox has used.
 
If it is required, I used a basic plan.

Thanks for your post, @Lifeline_!

It sounds like you had previously enabled computer backup on your desktop app. 

Can you please clarify whether you disabled the feature before deleting the account? 

You can also send me a screenshot of what you see when trying to access your computer files via Eclipse. 

Keep me updated.
