Need to edit unverified email address on personal dropbox account

I just created a new personal Dropbox account and made a typo when I entered my email address. I can't edit it without verifying and I assume I can't verify because the email address is incorrect. What do I do? I can't delete the account either because it is the wrong email address!

    Hi Lapengia,

    In such a case you cannot change the associated email. Instead you can create new account with the correct email and let the "incorrect" account just so. If needed, transfer existing files. After year of inactivity, Dropbox account gets deleted automatic (email validity doesn't matter in such a case).

    Hope this helps.
