Hi guys,

Why every time I attempt to delete the Desktop Dropbox App from my MacBook Pro, I get this message..?

Hi @lulu3,

🤔 'The item "Dropbox" can't be moved to the Trash because it's open.' 🧐 What this could mean?...

Ah... Take a look on upper right corner of the screen! 😜 Next to the Bluetooth symbol. Isn't that the Dropbox application symbol, indicating that Dropbox is running?! Just quit the application. 😉

Hope this helps.

thanks but didn't work

Hey @lulu3, if you don't want the desktop app or the Dropbox folder on your computer, try going through the steps to uninstalling it.

Once you do, and you still encounter that error message, try closing other third party apps, like security software or antivirus, before attempting to delete the Dropbox folder again.
