    Hey Bat61, thanks for posting to the Dropbox Community today!

     

    The site won't really allow you to change the email of the empty account to the email of your original account, as an email address can only be associated with one Dropbox account.

     

    However, if you don't want this secondary, empty account, you can simply delete it.

     

    This will of course automatically log you out of it, so you'll be able to login to the correct one on the website as well.

     

    As for paying for two accounts, did you notice double payments in your bank account?

     

    You can use this page to look up transactions and see which Dropbox account they're tied to.

     

    I hope this helps, but let me know if you have any questions.
