Help finding, opening and deleting files

How can I get help finding, opening and deleting files I don’t want clogging it up making it hard to find files people put in drop box or I have put in drop box. How do I put files in drop box, why is this even necessary

    You have to find and delete things yourself Jlr2. There isn't anybody who can do that for you. 

     

    You can see them at www.dropbox.com/home OR if you installed the software in the Dropbox directory of your computer. 

     

    To delete on Dropbox simply drag them out of the Dropbox directory if you are using a computer, or, tap delete on the website. Note make sure you have saved copies elsewhere if you need the data!
