    I was having the same issue and since I couldn't find much help online, I decided to try something that worked for me.
    Open your terminal (Cmd + Spacebar > Search for "terminal") and run the following commands:


    cd ~/Public
    (navigates to the "Public" folder)

     

    sudo rm -r "Drop Box"
    (deletes Drop Box folder and any files it may contain. If the filename is different simply change the content in between quotes)

     

    You will be asked for your password, type it and hit Enter 
    (Rest assured, although you don't get any visual feedback, your password is being written)

    That's it, let me know if worked for you!
