My desktop folder got into Dropbox. How can I delete it from Dropbox only?
I don't know how my desktop folder got into Dropbox. I would like to remove it and keep it just on my desktop. How do I delete it from Dropbox without losing it? Thank you!

Dropbox StaffHey acandee.
To stop Dropbox from backing up the desktop folder and from preventing it from getting deleted, you first need to follow the steps I linked above to disable the backup.
Do you have a small Dropbox icon in your menu bar at the top of your screen, by the WiFi icon?
That's where you need to click to find the options mentioned.
Let me know how you do.
problem resolved. thank you
