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.

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?

Yes, i am using windows. The dropbox app is in my start menu, but when i click on it, the blue think circle appears for a few seconds, then nothing else happens. The app doesn't load.

I fooled around in the online version and came upon my computer in a list. I followed the rabbit trail and came to a point where i could unlink my computer, and the following message appeared: "You’re about to unlink your computer DESKTOP-*******. It’ll immediately stop syncing with your Dropbox."
Will doing this accomplish my goal?
