Can't delete files from an unlinked PC for Dropbox Backup
Hello,
I have a backup of a PC I don't have access to anymore. When I try to delete files from it, I get a message saying that I have to unlink it under Setting -> Security.
I went to the settings and deleted this computer (and all others) and I still get this message.
When I got to https://www.dropbox.com/backup/all next this pc I see the status as unlinked, but still cannot delete.
What should I do in order to delete those files?
Thanks

Thanks for the update. It isn't possible to delete, add or edit specific files from the backup, since this is a one way sync from a computer to the site.
The only option you'll have is to delete the entire backup to free up the quota from your account.
Even though it is unlinked ?
When I try to delete those files it tells me is possible, but I have to unlink first, weird.
I can search for the computer to see if I can install dropbox to change this.
Where in Windows can IP can for the PC name that dropbox uses ?
