Deleting Dropbox from Macbook isn't successful.

I installed the Dropbox app onto my Macbook and now i cant delete it. Whenever I drag it to the trash it just doesn't do anything. I no longer need it so i would like to free up the space.

I have done this and there is nothing preventing it. I have attached a screenshot to make sure

Hey pollydiaz, it might sound trivial, but have you tried re-starting your device at all? 

 

If this didn't work either, then feel free to follow these steps, and perform an advanced re-install of the app to solve this.
