Create a folder on your computer and drag the photos down from your dropbox folder. Make sure they're on your computer's hard drive (ie. on the desktop, documents, or pictures folder) - so no green dropbox check next to it. Then delete it from your dropbox folder. If it pops up delete it everywhere it's okay because it's stored on your personal computer off the internet. You also have 30 days to recover dropbox files online.
