Getting an error when starting up the desktop app on my Mac
Hey, I am receiving the below error message. I believe it is linked to my name being spelled incorrectly when I first received my mac. I would like to delete some of these shared folders off of my computer, without deleting them for everyone else.

Hi Elles11,
I don't know what shared folders you want to delete (it's something left unclear), but you can execute following command in terminal window:
rm -rf ~/.dropbox
After that, run Dropbox application and initialize it anew (login back to your account). 😉 The error should disappear now.
Hope this helps.
