Hi mairabay,
Similar things could happens when you try 'play' with the distribution directory while dropbox is still running (confirmed from my experience).

Hi Lusil,
While I appreciate the speed of your repsonse and your willingness to help, I would like to ask you (and whoever else reads this): please read the question throughly before trying to answer.
1) I am not talking about .tmp files. I never mentioned the .tmp extension or asked about deleting files. I am talking about a folder that has the following name structure: .dropbox-dist-tmp-XXXX. Please read the question throughly before trying to answer.
2) This has been happening for weeks now and rebooting does nothing to it.
