    Hey Luanne R.1, You can disable importing photos to Dropbox from the preferences. Click the Dropbox icon on the Menubar > Click the gear icon > and choose Preferences

     

     

    Next, go to Import tab, and uncheck the Enable camera uploads checkbox. 

     

     

    You should not delete the Photos Library.photoslibrary as it contains the data of your photos, albums, slideshows, and print projects. You can simply drag the file outside the Dropbox folder, the default location is Users > [username] > Pictures. Once, you drag this file there, you can double click to open it. It should lauch the Photos app, and everything should work fine.
