Why when I uninstall dropbox it is still there??  It comes out of my programs and the App disappears when I press uninstall, but

when I type in dropbox my folders and everything still comes up.  I want it all to be gone so I can start a brand new one.  I had some

sharing problems with the old one.  Please help, I am so frustrated with something that should be so simple.

It doesnt delete your Dropbox files that are inside of Dropbox i.e. the files and things you have been syncing. That you need to do yourself.

Although I was able to remove what appears to be all folders on C: drive containing word "Dropbox", every time I start the computer it complains dropbox is missing.   I want to completely remove any traces of it!

Your comment regarding removing dropbox files is useless.   They were removed from my computer.  I need to get rid of the entire dropbox program as if it never existed in the computer.

"Dropbox Folder Missing" box appears when computer starts.

 

"Your Dropbox folder has been moved or deleted from its original location." ...   DUH!  I know that.  I deleted every file and subdirectory which appeared to contain Dropbox.   I don't want it back.

 

What is required to delete it totally from the computer?

Did you actually uninstall it first, before you started deleting things?
