I can’t delete files from recent files page
Hi I previewed a dodgy file in drop box. It shows in my recent files page and I can preview it - which shows a link to Adobe. Another client downloaded and her email account was hacked and used for spam. My email is alias so this has not happened. When I search I can’t find the files and the … in recent file view does not allow me to delete it. Is it still there and how do I delete it/ or is it just showing the preview and was never downloaded

Hey Keg71 - thanks for letting us know about this.
It's true that you can't delete files from your Recent files page, but you can make it go away by filling the list with other files (you'd need to take actions on files for this, like previewing them).
As for reporting the file, you can use this form.
I hope this helps and please let us know if you have anything else to ask.
