Hi, Need to remove the company's dropbox in my laptop as I resigned from the company.

I've unlinked and removed the desktop app in my laptop, but notice there is a dropbox file in my user file. 

Will it affect the cloud if I am to permanently delete the file in my user file? 

 

Thanks.

Hey there, @chinmei_1, welcome to our Community! 

 

If you've unlinked, and uninstalled our app from your device, then you're safe to delete any Dropbox-related content off of your device. 

 

You can double check through your programs to see that Dropbox isn't installed there, and then delete the files.

 

I hope this helps!
