I am sure the account has only had one email associated with it. But one thing I did have at one point was the paid plan, which I don't at this point. I also checked the online folder versus the one on the D drive and they matched.

Also, when I first reported this issue my C drive folder showed 190GB but after double checking I had clicked on the blank space beside my name as opposed to the actual Dropbox folder so that number was not accurate. When I checked the actual files there were only a handful which I opened and successfully saved elsewhere.

At this point I would consider the case closed. I'll just delete the folder from the C drive as nothing is apparently syncing to it anyway. Thanks for your help!
