Delete, edit, and organize
Solve issues with deleting, editing, and organizing files and folders in your Dropbox account with support from the Dropbox Community.
1 Year ago my laptop was hacked and my bank accounts were compromised. I did a complete hard reset of my laptop and everything has been fine until now. But I just noticed someone is the owner of a folder that I created(which has all my tax returns and Bank account information). Please see screenshot below.
If I delete this folder, will they still have access to the folder? Please advise.
Yes it should - but what we cannot say is if the other person has copies elsewhere.

You need to take the files out of it and THEN delete it. They will then lose access to the files.

Ok, I did that and the folder is empty now. What will happen to the files if they stored it in the local machine? Will it be deleted automatically as well?
