Homer You can quit an application in several ways. Navigate to the Dropbox Dash app, most easily by using cmd + space and typing "Dash" or "Dropbox Dash" to bring up the application. If Dash is running, you can also find it in the dock at the bottom of your screen.
Once there, you can click "Dropbox Dash" in the top left of your screen and select "Quit Dropbox Dash"
Otherwise, you can click the Apple logo in the top left of your screen, select Force Quit, then select Dropbox Dash.

Nope, that doesn't work. As you will see from the screenshots, Dash does not show up in the list of apps that can be force-quit. It also doesn't show up in the dock at the bottom of the screen. Its icon does show up as menubar item at the top of the screen, and as a floating window that says "Open Dash", but you can't quit either. And if I can't quit it, I can't delete the app.

Hi Homer!
Since the Dash application has not been fully installed yet, the uninstallation process is slightly different. You'll want to utilize Activity Monitor on your Mac to Quit the Dash installer. I've included the full steps below:
- Navigate to Activity Monitor using your Mac's Spotlight functionality
- Locate Dash within Activity Monitor (you can search for Dash and that will bring up all instances)
- For each line, select the line and click the Force Quit button above it
Looks like this: - Once you've Force Quit each instance of Dash, you should be able to resume with dragging Dropbox Dash to the trash to uninstall
- Be sure to empty the trash and restart your computer once you've completed the above, to ensure that Dash has been successfully removed
