Hi @mrbeastvn, thanks for contacting us.

 

Yes, if you delete your Dropbox account, your files would be permanently deleted from the server. 

 

Bear in mind that any files in shared folders might not be deleted, as other users could still have access to those folders, so you should delete those files first to be certain they were deleted.

 

If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.
