How do I delete Dropbox from my Mac?

The above methods may not delete the application but delete other stuff. Telling you that "The plugins" are still on use. For that, you will have to go to the extensions. Go to it like this: Click on the 'Dropbox application' then click spacebar for a view of it. Then click the box with the arrow coming out of it. You will see some options, click "more..." Look at all plugins or extensions. Now find dropbox in that extension box and uncheck mark it. (My Dropbox was using Finder.) Now you can delete it.

If you go to applications>utilities>activity monitor, you should be able to quit any dropbox process that is running, and then move it to the trash.

Reboot into Safe Mode too, delete it and I assume along with the app are other elements you may have to search for, such as any plug-in it installed or use?

If so, they should have created an uninstall/installer.

Uninstalling Dropbox will not delete your Dropbox account or remove the files in your Dropbox folder from your hard drive.

1. Quit Dropbox (click on the Dropbox icon from the menu bar, click on the gear icon, and then select "Quit Dropbox").
2. Drag-and-drop Dropbox to the trash from your Applications folder.
3. Your Dropbox folder and its contents will remain intact. However, if you'd like to remove that as well, you can drag and drop your Dropbox folder to the trash.

Uninstalling the Dropbox contextual menu:

1. Open the Finder and select Go to folder... from the Go menu (or press Shift-Command-G).
2. A dialog box should appear. Now copy and paste the following line into the box and press the return key:
   

   /Library

3. Delete the DropboxHelperTools folder by moving it to the Trash.
   

(Optional) Removing your Dropbox application settings:

1. Open the Finder and select Go to folder... from the Go menu (or press Shift-Command-G).
2. A dialog box should appear. Now copy and paste the following line into the box and press the return key:
   

   ~/.dropbox

3. Remove your Dropbox application system settings by selecting all files in the folder and dragging and dropping them into the trash.

Swanfromnull top lad, it was driving me F**king nuts, if I ever bump into you the first beer is on me and the second

I did not find DropBox in the applications>utilities>activity monitor. When I try other methods as dragging it to the trash I get "The item “Dropbox” can’t be moved to the Trash because some of its extensions are in use." PLEASE HELP

When I did the following it said "NO SERVICE" --Click on the 'Dropbox application' then click spacebar for a view of it. Then click the box with the arrow coming out of it. You will see some options, click "more..." Look at all plugins or extensions. Now find dropbox in that extension box and uncheck mark it. (My Dropbox was using Finder.) Now you can delete it.--This is not working for me

Great. This was my issue. Could get it deleted. Same, it was connected with its life IRD to FINDER. Space at and uncheck the finder extension and quiting it from the top menu bar worked like a charm. It’s gone from my Mac. **** easy to install and so many hoops to get rid of it

Quit DropBox while trying to delete it.

Perfect thanks! : )

Thank you. This was a simple and effective fix.

Sounds like a solid plan! 😀

done.

it works, thanks
