Deleting a folder

[japaso]

So for some reason in my dropbox my whole mac I synced in, and taking up all the space. When. I try to delete it it says unable to delete. How can I remove the mac from the dropbox, not the dropbox from the map.

Thanks a lot.

Hey japaso,

I think this is a MacOS problem and it might be because of different physical and logical sizes of the files.

Try this tip and set the "logical" size to zero: https://help.dropbox.com/accounts-billing/space-storage/low-disk-space?fallback=true

I hope this will solve your problem, if not please give some notice here.

Sincerely,

This is a special folder that cannot be deleted like a regular folder. The folder is present because you have the computer backup feature enabled.
