You can reset the file path for these folders with the steps below:
- Navigate to the system's Desktop/Downloads/Documents folders via the File Explorer (not the folders in Dropbox).
- Right click the folder and choose "Properties".
- Go to the "Location" tab.
- Choose to reset the default folder path.
If you're having trouble locating these folders, they would be under the path C:/users/[your username]/
If you have any trouble with these steps then please let me know the exact step that you're running into issues. You can send along a screenshot too if relevant.

Dropbox StaffThanks for clarifying that TitanxD!
The "My PC" folder doesn't mean that the Dropbox app has backed up the entire computer to Dropbox.
Within this folder, you will see the computer folders that had synced with Dropbox.
Since you mentioned that you already reset the default folder path for Download and Documents, can you move the files from within those folders in Dropbox (Dropbox > My PC > Downloads/Documents), back to the original locations on your computer?
Also, do you have any other folders showing within the "My PC" folder?
Im not sure if you understand. I deleted DropBox, but the file path still mentioned dropbox, and i want to remove that part of the file path, since having dropbox in the file path makes t very hard for me, and my apps to navigate, since II have to do it manually everytime.
