Hey MRBC001, thanks for posting on our Community and happy Monday!
When you uninstall the desktop app from your computer, your Dropbox folder will become a local copy of the content you had stored in your Dropbox account and you should be safe to delete it, if you no longer need the files inside it that is.
Otherwise, you can copy or move the Dropbox folder's content before deleting it, just to be sure.
I hope this helps!
