    Hi andreadandrea 

     

    Yes it would - you need to log in to that secondary account (use www.dropbox.com/forgot if needed) and then delete it.

     

    I'd also suggest you are actually wanting to CHANGE the email on your main account now not add this one as as secondary email - its just not worth the risk.
