You can check if your backups are enabled from this page on your account.
An advanced reinstall would be the best way to go about this, since it would fully remove the app from your device and unlink it at the same time, allowing you to reinstall it under the user account.
Once the app is installed, the files on the site would sync down to your machine again in the Dropbox folder in the user account.
