Removing unwanted folder from my account
A folder has appeared in my uploaded list which I didn't put there. It's an mp3 music file that I downloaded into a music folder on my PC but a few days later I noticed it had appeared in my dropbox list of files. When I click on it all I get is a page prompting me to request access. I've done that but nothing has happened. The share & open boxes do not appear next to the file and it doesn't have the three black dots alongside the file. I just want to remove the file. Any help please?
Okay, so this is most likely a shared file that you had access to, but no longer since the owner removed your access.
Currently, it won't be possible to remove it from the Recent's page manually at this time.
