Residual Dropbox after uninstalling Boxcryptor

I recently uninstalled Boxcryptor, but the Boxcryptor/Dropbox folder remains and is synced. Win 11 home. I've tried things like hiding the x: drive, but that did nothing, presumably because it is virtual drive.  Any ideas how to safely make the Boxcryptor/Dropbox directory go away? 

  • Thanks Hannah - while creating a screenshot I discovered that despite uninstalling Boxcryptor it still existed - re-doing the uninstall process solved the problem.  Don

    Hey Don_in_BC, thanks for joining us on the Dropbox Community.

     

    I'm not really sure that this is our turf, you might need to reach out to Boxcryptor, but can you send us a screenshot to give us a visual of what you see on your end?

     

    Thanks in advance.
