Deleting synced folder after uninstalling dropbox

I was working with a company who used a shared Dropbox account. I don't work with the company anymore so I uninstalled Dropbox from my computer. It didn't delete the shared folder off my computer, and I was wondering if I can remove it from my computer without deleting the files for everyone? I don't have access to the shared account either, nor do I want to interact with the people who own it.

    Hi Senka 

     

    Yes you can because you have removed Dropbox - and so it has no way to sync with the servers 🙂
