No NO NO Libby. Here's what I did open it and clic "Quit" then go to the App Store and download Simple! Shredder for free. Open Simple! Shredder and leave it on your desktop. The open Finder and go to Application > Dropbox. Highlight Dropbox by clicking only once on it. go backup to Finder > File > and clic on Move To Trash
Open Dropbox and make it quit like any other app from up in the menu at the top of your screen. Then go to the App Store and get Simple! Shredder and when it downloads you open it and leave it on your desktop waiting. Then go to Finder and in the column on the left clic on Applications > File > Move To Trash and that part is gone. Then go back to Finder > Downloads > File > Move To Trash. And that is it. But wait. what are you using Dropbox for?
Official instructions are here -> https://www.dropbox.com/help/41
It helps immensely if you actually post the text of the error message that you are receiving.
You may need to visit the Activity monitor, search for dropbox and stop any processes there before attempting to remove the Dropbox application from the /Applications folder.
thank you so much.
i just solved it!
Great! Glad that I could help. 🙂

Why are you telling someone who solved their problem over a year ago that what they did was wrong?
