Empty Folder on PC showing 1.5TB
The dropbox file on the E drive is empty. However, when I right-click and select properties it's showing it contains 1.5TB. Please can someone explain why this is and what to do about it? Thank yo...

Within the Dropbox folder is a hidden .dropbox.cache folder. This folder holds files while syncing as well as files you've deleted elsewhere (the Dropbox website or other devices) for 3 days before purging them.
If you don't have hidden files and folders enabled in your operating system, you wouldn't see the folder.

Does this still work if I've uninstalled Dropbox?
