I have multiple Dropbox folders on my computer and want to eliminate one
I have multiple Dropbox folders on my system. Each one resides on a different drive or nested within another folder on those drives. All of them have different icon overlays: One has a green checkmark in a white circle, another has that one too plus the Dropbox logo as an overlay, another has a white checkmark in a solid green circle and the last one just has the Dropbox logo.
They all seem to be syncing, but in my DB preferences only one of them is set to be the official folder.
How do I eliminate the ones I don't want?

Hi Sereby, thanks for reaching out to us.
In general, the Dropbox folder that should be syncing to your account is the one outlined in your desktop app's Preferences.
Just to make sure that we're on the same page though, could you let me know if:
- The Dropbox folder shown in your Preferences is the one that has the green syncing icons :white_check_mark: on its files?
- You add a file in each Dropbox folder, do they all show up on the website?
Keep me posted!
