The local Dropbox folder keeps re-appearing, even after deleting it.
I want to totally remove Dropbox from my Windows 11 PC. I have tried all on-line suggestions and the folder still comes back after I delete it. I have turned off the wireless so nothing can update it...

Thanks I did that and it still comes back. It may be a Dropbox that’s tied to some other account. As I said I can delete it briefly but minutes later or after a restart it returns. I reinstalled the Dropbox app several times but it asks to rename the existing Dropbox folder which it can’t. It leaves that folder alone and will install itself in any another folder. This is like some kind of cancer!
