Hey @Diego73, welcome to our community! 

Sometimes, reinstalling our app can help fix the uninstall process. 

Give this a try: 

1. Download the offline installer of our Dropbox app. 
2. Double-click the downloaded file.
3. After the install completes, click the Dropbox icon in the system tray.
4. Click the gear icon.
5. Click Quit Dropbox. 
6. Try to uninstall Dropbox again.

If the app still won’t uninstall, follow these steps to manually uninstall:

3. Open Windows File Explorer. 
4. Copy this line and paste it into the address bar. Press Enter.
   %PROGRAMFILES(x86)% 
5. In “Program Files,” open the “Dropbox” folder, then open the “Client” folder.
6. In “Client,” you should see a file named DropboxUninstaller.exe. Double-click this file to run the uninstaller. 

If the uninstaller fails or doesn’t launch, try running the uninstaller as an administrator:

1. Right-click DropboxUninstaller.exe. 
2. Select Run as Administrator. 
3. Enter the computer admin username and password when prompted.
4. Follow the the steps in the uninstaller. 

I hope this helps. Let me know.

Cheers!
