The red notification showing on the icon isn't going away

Hi Has anyone else experienced red icon badge showing as one unread notification even after all notifications read and then deleted.  Can't seem to get rid of it no matter what I try.  Thank you.

    Wow!  That worked for me too.  It was merely a matter of clicking on "show me how"  I did nothing other than click on that under Sync History and Activity.  Who would have ever thought that was the answer.  Yes, the red notification badge is gone!  Dropbox needs to be more clear about what the "notification" is.  Thank you Jayne for discovering the fix.
