Hi there, Bat-Sheva G., I'd be happy to help!

 

As a first step, I suggest that you access the app's preferences, and then visit your Sync tab there. 

 

That should give you the actual Dropbox folder location. Once you check where your Dropbox folder is syncing, you can then safely delete any other references, just make sure that you don't need the content in the other location. 

 

I hope this clarifies, let me know if you have any questions!
