Remove past linked files on computer but not on oaccount

Remove past linked files on computer but not on oaccount

Hi there, 

 

I've recently moved on from my previous job (the email is no longer valid, I've signed out of my work dropbox account) but the files are still on my computer and they're taking up a lot of space. They're no longer syncing with the most up to date files, but the old ones are still there from when I was with my previous company. I can't delete the files because it'd be deleted on all my ex-coworkers' dropboxes as well.. any help?

 

😞 thanks

If you've signed out of the Dropbox account, the files will no longer sync back to the account. They can be safely deleted.
