Unable to uninstall Dropbox on Windows 11
Application Affected (Dropbox) Device (Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Convertible Laptop.) Operating System/Browser (if using the web) (Windows 11.) Dropbox App Version (if using the app) Error Unable to de-install Dropbox. Ensured that 3 Dropbox services have stopped. Tried to de-DropboxE64.88.0.dllinstall manually. Didn't work. In safe mode, deleted all Dropbox files except DropboxE64.88.0.dll. Error=action can't be completed because the file is open in Windows Explorer. Ran sfc/scannow. No errors. Ran Revo installer. Lots of messages about deleting registry. But DropboxE64.88.0.dll still there & gave same error when I tried to delete. It seems like DropboxE64.88.0.dll likes my PC so much that it doesn't want to leave!!!
