Have you also emptied your device's trash after deleting the content?
If you search in your File Explorer for an example file name, are you able to locate any files? Let me know if you're also able to see the content in Dropbox.
Thanks a bunch!
Hey!
Im not sure, because I stopped manually, when dropbox wanted to upload my dekstop.
No, I didn't delete anything from the trash. And the file explorer found nothing.
