    Hi Jeff K.28, files aren't connected to each other on Dropbox. So, if you delete a file in the camera uploads folder, this won't affect any other files located elsewhere on your account.

Thank you for clearing that up. Can you answer another question? If a photo has been saved to different folder than camera uploads in Dropbox if that photo is deleted from camera uploads will it still remain in the other folder?
