How can I delete the Dropbox desktop app and only use the online version?
Hello, I want to delete/un sync and remove all desktop Dropbox stuff, and strictly use the online version. How do I do this?
Yes, that will unlink your account, as it sounds like you can't get the desktop app to load. Once the device is unlinked, you can continue with the uninstallation of the app.

Hi H20 water, thanks for contacting us!
You can do this by first signing out of the Dropbox desktop application, which will stop any changes made from syncing to the site.
Afterwards you can uninstall the Dropbox desktop application and delete the local Dropbox folder entirely if you wish.
If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.
Hello Jay, thanks for your suggestion.
In the process of trying to delete this Dropbox Desktop thing, I removed the drop box app from my taskbar, and cant find it anymore.

Do you mean that you quit the app, or uninstalled it entirely?
Is it still in your start menu, since it sounds like you're using Windows?
