Hello samirkumar, I'd be happy to help. 

 

It sounds like you have computer backup enabled, which backs up computer folders, like Documents, Desktop, and Downloads, to your Dropbox folder. 

 

For this reason, you'll have to turn it off first before moving the files back to their original locations. 

 

You can find more information about this, here. 

 

Let me know if you have any other questions, thanks!
