Hey @uhnicMaya!
Sorry, my bad. I thought you unlinked your device using the app itself on the old PC. In this case, it'd be expected that your Dropbox folder still has all of your files.
However, since you tried to remotely remove the device then I'd like to ask if you chose to Delete files from [account name] Dropbox the next time this computer comes online.
That should be the message you see after clicking the trash can icon, in order to remove the device.

I did not see "delete files from the account name".......so I am deleting files on old laptop one by one.........
