    Just noticed today that there's a new button in Dropbox settings saying Clear cache. So hopefully the problem is now resolved :-)

For a second time I deleted the unwanted transferred files from the tablet and... the cloud OneDrive lost all its files again. Crazy. Then, I decided to remove OneDrive from the tablet. Ha! Not easy. Took an hour of Googling to find the secret formula, because Microsoft does NOT want you to delete their apps from their Windows 10 OS. Now OneDrive is deleted from the tablet and I need to restore the files to the cloud OneDrive. I'll wait a day or two and try a different cloud transfer service to bring the Dropbox files over to OneDrive. The files are always greener on the other side, (Old saying)
