Hi Timothy6, thanks for contacting us.
This message means it would delete the file from that location in the Dropbox folder, the the same location on the Dropbox site, and the same location any Dropbox folder that your account is currently connected to.
It won't affect files with the same name that are outside the Dropbox folder.
If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.
