I see PC and PC (2) in Selective Sync settings - could they be duplicates?

Hello! I am trying to clean up my folders before adding a new laptop to my account. My current computer, which is based on a 2023 repair, shows PC and PC (2) as folders for synching. I would like to know if both PC and PC (2) can be combined or if there is a way to merge these. (I don't know which is PC and which is PC (2), but I think PC (2) is the more active one. I am scared to delete the first set of folders in case there is something on there that is not in PC (2), but it's hard to tell. Thank you!

Hey @IMissTab, thanks for joining our Community!

The PC folders in a Dropbox folder mean that you previously enabled the Dropbox backup feature on two computers connected to your Dropbox account. These should be two different computers.

This is how the older version of Dropbox backup would work; the updated version works a bit differently.

What do you see about those two folders on your backups page here?

Let me know and we'll go from there.
