Hey CB59, let's jump right into this!
Do you use our desktop or mobile app on your devices?
Provided that you use both our desktop and mobile app, and you wish to delete local content from the devices here is what can happen:
On your computer, you can delete files outside of your Dropbox folder, and your content online won't be affected. However, if you wish to remove content from inside your Dropbox folder, you might need to uninstall the app first.
As for your mobile app, you can remove any files from your camera roll, or your mobile's local content without affecting your Dropbox files.
I hope this clarifies. If you have any questions, let me know!
