Removing Dropbox from Nav Pane in Windows 11
I've uninstalled Dropbox from my laptop but the navigation pane still contains the icon (which points to nothing and gives an error). I'd like to remove the icon from the navigation pane (it's truly incredible that the installer doesn't do this... ). I've found instructions for windows 10 (e.g. these ones), but none of those keys seem to exist in my registry. I'm wondering if it's because something changed for the Win 11 version. I would appreciate any help. Thank you.
EDIT: I have restarted the PC multiple times since uninstall so it's not a caching thing.
- This has been solved by following the instructions here: https://www.thewindowsclub.com/remove-dropbox-from-explorer-navigation-pane For some reason I could not previously find the correct registry keys. Thank you for the help.

Can you send me a screenshot of what you see on your end, please?
Also, if you access your device's programs is Dropbox shown there?
Let me know what you find.
Hello,
Here's a picture of my nav pane and my programs and features:
Thank you,

Hi stevestevesteve, could you ensure that the Dropbox account is definitely disconnected from your account according to this page on the site?
- Yes it is un-linked according to my account security page.
