Dropbox Backup: Desktop and Desktop(1) ?

I don't know whether I'm posting this in the right place, but in my Dropbox Backup I have Desktop and Desktop(1). Is there a reason for that? If not, can I delete Desktop(1) and, if so, how? TIA...

    That's correct, to store all your files you had before, it would need more than 2 GB of quota. 

     

    From what you posted, you currently have 2 TB, since you're most likely on a Plus plan, so you should have enough quota currently to store them.

So with those numbers, I need a lot more than 2 Gb!
Just wanted to be sure. Thanks!
