Can't delete account set up with Google

[Ja Man Java]

I made an account via linking google account to Dropbox. I want to delete it but i cant. Why is that? Also if I delete my google account, does that mean my linked dropbox account also get deleted as well?

Thanks for posting here, @Ja Man Java! 

What's happening exactly when trying to delete your Dropbox account? Are you being asked for a Dropbox password perhaps? 

If yes, you can see here how to set one.

In case your Google account gets deleted, this wouldn't delete your Dropbox account. However, you'd need to have the same password mentioned above, in order to log back in to Dropbox. 

Let me know if you see something else, though.

Are you seeing any option saying “Send email” when trying to delete your Dropbox account? 

If yes, you can click there to generate a new password for your Dropbox account and delete it afterwards. 

Otherwise, please send me a screenshot of what you see.

When I try to reset my password this is what I get: 

The link to change my password isn't there. So I cant delete my account.
