I'm having trouble deleting photos from my account
I have googled for how to delete photos in Dropbox, but the answer that comes back is to click on the ellipsis, the 3 dots, in the upper right corner - but there is none there. There is no menu to delete anywhere, and I know to be on the Timeline view, and not the Preview.

Do you mean the Photos page? If so, that's the problem. You can't delete from the Photos page. You can only delete from the Files view.
If you can't find a photo in the FIles view or don't know where it is, when you're on the Photos page you can click the ellipsis and select Show in folder. That will take you to the photo in the actual folder where it resides, and you can delete it from there.
