- Hi daveg0321, thanks for posting today.
I understand you concern over these missing files. Generally, we don't recommend using third party uninstallers to remove Dropbox, as issues like this could occur.

This will help me to assist further.

Hi Jay, thanks for replying.
I managed to fix the issue i was having. Sorry to trouble you 🙂 Had to reinstall dropbox, sync the folders back up, then uninstall it through windows.
Yes, the trouble was 3rd party uninstallers (in this case revo) and its particularly violent scrubbing
Thanks!
