Why are Dropbox files regularly copying to my desktop?

Why are Dropbox files regularly copying to my desktop? Even files I delete.

Dropbox wont work if you are also syncing it to OneDrive (as the path shows). You need to stop using it with 2 cloud services.

Also, its no longer possible to sync the Desktop now with Dropbox. It was a feature of the backup system, but, removed when it launched out of beta.

Also, do you see any folders or files being backed up in your backups page?

I can't see what to do from here to fix the problem. Looks like all i can do is delete these files, but I'm not sure I want to do that.
