Dropbox folder still showing in explorer (no option to delete)
I have uninstalled DB, but cannot seem to remove from my current device!!! (File explorer) and no option to delete.
**RESOLVED**
After looking at a few other forums I found out that even after uninstalling Dropbox it leaves remnants in your system. To remove the remaining useless folder in the nav panel you have to hit Windows +R, then enter “regedit”. Next navigate to HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop and in the Desktop folder there’s another named NameSpace. In there was a file with a long name that the info panel showed was a Dropbox file. Delete that and it removes the leftover from the nav panel.

This was the only solution that worked to hide Dropbox from Windows 11 Explorer tree panel.
Thanks.
