How to connect the app and my account to my new PC?
I have Dropbox Plus - bought a new PC - My files in old PC were uploaded in Dropbox so I can download in new PC.
1. It says go to SETTINGS - SECURITY TAB - looked at devices connected - UNLINKED it...

Hey @uhnicMaya, let's jump right into this!
If you unlinked the old PC, using the app in it then that's expected. You'd need to manually delete the content if you wish to remove it, since that doesn't happen automatically.
Unless of course, you specifically followed these steps and asked for the content to be removed after removing the device.
As for our chat, our team is aware of it and actively tries to rectify the situation.
If you need something else, please let me know and I will be more than happy to help every step of the way!

Not understanding the part:
"You'd need to delete the content if you wish to remove it, since that doesn't happen automatically."
Is this in my Dropbox folder on the old PC?
