The folder "Drop Box" inside the folder "Public" has nothing to do with the "Dropbox" service, despite the name similarity. The "Drop Box" folder is provided by Apple for other users on your computer or your local network (if there are any) can pass files to you securely. (They can drop files into the folder but not look into the folder, kind of like an old-fashioned suggestion box or a postal collection box.)

You may need to go back to the Dropbox site and see if they have an uninstaller. That may be the only way to get rid of it.
