- 4 years agoHello Kirsten3 and jlarch3rr, thanks for checking in with us.
It seems like you have computer backup enabled, which adds computer folders (like Documents and Downloads) into your Dropbox folder.
In this case, if you don't need it, you can turn it off by following the steps mentioned in this article.
During these steps, you'll be give the option to move the files back to where they were originally.
Have a look through and let me know how it goes, cheers!

I can't delete a folder that the DropBox app created on its own "My PC (DESKTOP-NA82NRH)" that is ruining my available space and trying to force me to upgrade. This folder actually is my "Downloads" folder on my hard drive. I don't want this folder to be part of my DropBox folder - it is 11.4 Gb which far exceeds my 2 Gb limit on my free account! If this is deleted from my DropBox folder, I will be using up only 1.24 Gb!
