One of the benefits of Dropbox is that it allows you to restore items that you may have deleted from your computer’s Dropbox folder. Dropbox stores these items on its servers so that you can go to its website and restore them if you need to. If you have files that you want to permanently delete, you need to do more than just simply remove them from your computer.
First, remove the files from your computer’s Dropbox Folder by deleting them as you would any other file. You could do this from the website, but it is much easier to identify the files from your computer.
Now you need to remove them from Dropbox’s servers.
1. Go to Dropbox’s website and login to your account.
2. Go to the Files tab.
3. Select Show deleted files from the Dropbox menu.
4. Navigate to the folder and/or files that you wish to remove.
5. Use the corresponding checkboxes to select the items that are to be deleted. All items that have been deleted from your computer will be marked as deleted.
6. Scroll back to the top of the page and click More. Select Permanently delete from the dropdown menu.
7. When the confirmation box appears, click the Permanently Delete files button.
