Storage Space

Hello everyone!! I'm using Dropbox for a long time and I really satisfied with this app. But unfortunately, I'm facing one problem that it's making repeatedly new program files in each update with named as "Client_(new version no.)" which is exhausting lots of memory space in C drive as I have installed this app at C drive in Windows 10. I'm attaching the screenshot of Dropbox folder in Program file regarding my problem. Due to limited memory space is present in my C drive, it is creating problem. I want to know that what will happen if I delete all those program files at there? Will the deletion hamper the functionality of Dropbox? If yes, then how can I change the path from C drive to D drive, Can someone please guide and advise me regarding my problem?

Hello @Megan ! Thank you for your reply.
No, the folders in the screenshot are not empty, they are contained with .exe,.dll,.xml,.conf type of files etc. and those folders all together are consuming 5.43 GB space in C drive. I'm attaching some screenshots of the files within those folders & the property of the Dropbox folder in Program Files(x86) regarding this problem. Waiting for your guidance to resolve this problem.

Hello @Walter, thank you for your suggestion! 🙂
I'll delete them by keeping only the latest version folder.
I have one more query regarding this problem that how can I stop or fixed this problem for permanently? It's very difficult to check Program files every time as Dropbox app automatically update itself and creating such type of folders by consuming lot of memory space in each time. Waiting for your response and guidance regarding my this problem.

Thank you @Walter for your reply! 🙂
Oh okay, that's mean I have to check every time Dropbox folder in Program file. 😐 It's little bit tiresome work. ☹️ Can I change something in my computer settings or somewhere so that those folder automatically removed during auto-update of Dropbox?
