Dropbox folder in Ventura public folder, won't delete. Why?
After deleting the Dropbox desktop app per the instructions on the Dropbox website, the Dropbox folder in the Public area remains and will not delete. When trying to delete or drag to the trash can, it states that the folder cannot be deleted because it is needed by Mac OS. Why does Mac OS need a folder for the deleted Dropbox app? Please advise how to delete. Thank you, Dan
