I can not delete Mac sparsebundle file

I can not delete Mac sparsebundle file

Good afternoon,

 

While installing a new MAC and time machine a MAC Back up file (Name: Mijn Mac (MacBook-Air.local) has been transferred to Dropbox.

I tried to delete file with several options but doesn't work in Finder, 3 dots, right mouse click and cut/paste options. Funny is that it is removed from desktop.

 

How can I remove this file from both Mac desktop and www.dropbox?

Hey @Patruick4101, thank you for posting in our Community!

It sounds like you have enabled our Computer Backup feature on your Mac computer.

You should be able to find the steps to disable it and move your files back to their original locations here. 

Make sure to get back to me if you have any questions!
