Moving dropbox sync folder location

[phschutz]

When moving the location of my Drpbox sync folders from one drive to another, I get the following error message: "Couldn't move junction point: C:\Users\.....\Dropbox\.drpbox.cache\...\placeholder.avi". and the move process is stopped.

It's the same problem as I reported in 14.3.17 here:

https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Installation-and-desktop-app/Problem-with-making-a-local-backup-of-D...

The placeholder.* files created by that release in a subfolder called 'qebcobkqbgpbzfynfuwbof' in the .dropbox.cache folder are unreadable by Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.

It's only that subfolder that you need to delete.
