Delete, edit, and organize
Solve issues with deleting, editing, and organizing files and folders in your Dropbox account with support from the Dropbox Community.
How do I delete (mostly js files) stuck on waiting to sync?
I took a screenshot of a web page, went to print it,
then dropbox popped up trying to sync about 30 random websites/pages and some other files.
Unable to right-click or delete and I am not the admin for this DB.
How do I get rid of these items?
Hi there @ Ms Fontaine - thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to the Community!
Have you tried rebooting your computer since you first noticed this?
If you did and this persists, please send us a screenshot so that we can have a visual too.
Thanks!

@ Ms Fontaine , if you open your local Dropbox folder, do you see any of these files there? What happens if you try to delete them, or drag them out of the Dropbox folder to a different location of your device?

I am unable to select/drag or right-click these pending items. Nothing appears to be in my local folder. Any reason why I can't move them to the bin?
Thanks for the clarification @ Ms Fontaine
Could you please try logging out of your account through the app's preferences and then back in?
Let us know how it goes!

No need, another refresh and they've disappeared!
Glad to hear it's sorted now @MS Fontaine - let us know if anything else comes up!
