Thanks for your post, LPN!

 

If you check your Dropbox app's syncing status, does it show that it has stopped syncing, as well? 

 

If yes, then I'd suggest downloading your folders directly from the Dropbox website, in case that's possible, and then deleting them from there, as well. 

 

Let me know if you face any issues though.

 

Keep me in the loop.
