"The operation can’t be completed" error when trying to delete a folder on macOS
I am on Mac OS Monterey running dropbox basic. When I try to delete a folder I get the error message 'The operation can’t be completed because “Folder name” needs to be downloaded.' Also my sync icons are not showing at all. If I add or delete files they the changes sync. If I create a folder it also syncs - but I cannot delete it from Finder. I can delete it online and the change sync to Finder. I have re-installed and also follow the advanced re-install https://help.dropbox.com/installs/advanced-reinstall I have followed the dropbox not syncing https://help.dropbox.com/sync/files-not-syncing and missing icons https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/View-download-and-export/Sync-icons-missing-in-the-Dropbox-folder-in-Finder/td-p/596014/page/2 I've been going round in circles with all the above - re-starting lots too. Any ideas what is going on? Thanks

Are log files safe to delete on Windows?
There's over 200GB of 'log' files on my computer under: [Users/[user]/AppData/Local/Dropbox/logs] My Dropbox app (for desktop) is currently syncing, but I only have 20GB left on my drive and it's stopping me from working. What are the log files, and will they be cleared automatically once finished? Are they safe to delete? Thanks, -Camden
