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

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?
