Dropbox full with the wrong files

[Junkie]

I fastened bij accident my Dropbox account to mij Desktop Computer through WD Smartware Pro. It seems to be that the files of mij Desktop Computer are now in my Dropbox account. How can I delete this files? Where can I do that?

Hey there, 

Welcome to the Dropbox Community, let 's look into that together! 

Please keep in mind that if you had stored your desktop files in Dropbox by placing them inside the Dropbox folder, these are automatically synced to your account online. 

If you’d like to avoid that and use a different type of organisation, please let me know some more details about it in your reply and it’ll be a pleasure to follow-up. 

Looking forward to hearing back from you! 

Warm regards,

Is there also a possibility to do this in Dutch? Now I am seeking all the time to words. The only thing I will is to backup  my phone, photos, addresses, phonenumbers and notes.  I don't need Dropbox on my desktops. So, I want to know where I can delete what is in mij Dropbox now or overwrite maybe.  I am just a beginner in Dropbox, allthough my account runs many years.

Hello Jane,

I pushed on the wrong bottom. On that point there was not yet a solution. I use a Backup-machine WD My Cloud. Every day this machine makes a backup of my whole computer.  WD My Cloud is by accident added to my DropBox account on the 5th of July. On that day gave Dropbox on, that my Dropbox was in one time full.  So no space left. How can I remove this app from my Dropbox account?

I've removed the solution tag 🙂

To remove the WD app you can try and do it at www.dropbox.com/account under the security tab, BUT, I think you'll need to speak to WD about changing where it does its backups to. Removing access I'm not sure will help due to the fact its saving the backups to the local Dropbox folder on your machine.
