and this is the error that comes when i click on it
Hi @usman4, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Could you try rebooting your computer to see if this removes the old Dropbox shortcut?
Keep me updated with any progress!
no nothing happens after i restart my computer
Could you try following these steps in the advanced reinstallation (without getting to the installation stage) to see if this removes the icon?
no i have tried these steps twice and they dont remove the icon
Could you try installing the app, and not sign into any account or set it up, and then try uninstalling it again?
okay imma do tht and update
okay so i did that and it removed it for a day. it reappeared again today
Hey there @usman4, sorry to jump in here, but could you clarify if you had installed the desktop app with admin privileges in the first place?
Are you still getting the same error after rebooting your computer?
i get the folder after rebooting and i do not know if i installed with admin priviliges
And what's the exact error you're now getting when trying to delete it @usman4?
i am not getting an error while uninstalling the app but the drop box folder stays in my file explorer
I was asking if you're getting any errors when trying to delete the reparse point shown in your screenshot @usman4
Could you give it a go and let us know?
i dont get the option to delete
Could you try clicking the 'Show more options' to see what other choices are available?
