You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

My MS Word and Excel apps on iPad still show files I've deleted from Dropbox.
Dear All,
On my iPad I have the MS Word and Excel Apps installed, and under the recents tab I see links to files I've since deleted from Dropbox.
When I try to "Remove from Recent" nothing happen...

Dropbox StaffWhile I can't suggest on the other apps, for the Dropbox app on your iPad, you can follow these steps:
- Open the Dropbox iOS app.
- Tap the account icon (person) in the bottom right.
- Tap the gear icon in the top right.
- Scroll down and tap Clear cache.
- Tap Clear cache again.
Once you’ve cleared the cache, log out of the Dropbox app, restart your device, then log back in.
Let me know if that helped @harlings
Hi Walter,
Tried that idea, now there's a pair of links pointing to my two Excel spreadsheets both of which I'm unable to remove from recent..

Hi again, @harlings! To be honest, I also believe that this is mostly an issue with Microsoft at this point, so I’d suggest contacting them next to investigate this further (since everything is working normally on Dropbox’s side).
Thanks for that Nancy, but I tried that and apart from getting me to reset both the MS Excel and MS Word apps on the iPad then re-installing them again, it was like talking to the dead.
