Hi there Ms Fontaine  - thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to the Community!

 

Have you tried rebooting your computer since you first noticed this?

 

If you did and this persists, please send us a screenshot so that we can have a visual too.

 

Thanks!

    Ms Fontaine , if you open your local Dropbox folder, do you see any of these files there? What happens if you try to delete them, or drag them out of the Dropbox folder to a different location of your device?

      I am unable to select/drag or right-click these pending items. Nothing appears to be in my local folder. Any reason why I can't move them to the bin?

        Thanks for the clarification Ms Fontaine  

         

        Could you please try logging out of your account through the app's preferences and then back in?
