Thanks Mark. Think I'll probably delete the Web version and start again. One thing - I have a lot of files which have ended up in a folder called Dropbox -> Public -> Folder name on my computer. Can't think how that that happened as none of them appears within Dropbox itself! If I delete the web version, is there a risk I could lose these (very important) files? As you can see, I'm a complete novice at this! Thanks again

Hey steveHG, let me chime in, too. What you’ll need to do is delete the desktop app from your computer (not your web account, as this will also delete the files you’ve saved there).
Can you send me though a screenshot of the folder you mention, so that I can have a look before proceeding with any further actions?
