How Do I Effectively Remove Dropbox?

Before you remove Dropbox, please make sure you’re using the administrator account, or you will be prompted to enter the password for permission of system changes. Then shut down the program and all other related processes (open the Task Manager by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Del to do it if it’s necessary), we are starting the removal right away.

Typically I do every removal starting from Control Panel, so I wouldn’t bother to check whether there is a default uninstaller displayed in Start menu.

1. Access the Programs and Features in Windows.

Windows 7 users:
– Click on Start button in the bottom left corner.
(or simply hit the Windows key on your keyboard)
– Move your mouse pointer to the Control Panel and then click it.
– Select Uninstall a program under the Programs section.
(If you’re a user of Windows XP, you can click on Add or Remove Programs.)

Windows 8/8.1 users:
– Press and hold the Windows key + C to open the charms bar
– Select Search.
– Type “control panel” in the search box.
– Select Control Panel from the result to open it.
– Select Uninstall a program under the Programs section.

Windows 10 users:
– In the bottom-left corner of you screen, right-click the Start button.
– Select Programs and Features.

2. Activate the built-in uninstaller to remove Dropbox.

– Find Dropbox in the list.
– Right-click it and select Uninstall, or double-click it to activate the removal.
– Follow the on-screen instructions to proceed with the removal.
– If you’re prompted with options “Restart now” and “Restart later”, choose either.

3. Access the Windows Registry Editor.

Most users skipped this step because they didn’t know how to do it, while this will actually lead to the accumulation of junks. So every time you’re trying to completely delete a program, don’t forget to clean out its entries. Reading this part may also help when you need to deal with another program someday.

Windows 7 users:
– Click on Start button (or simply hit the Windows key on your keyboard)
– Type regedit in the box and press Enter key.

Windows 8/8.1 users:
– Press and hold the Windows key + C to open the charms bar
– Select Search.
– Type “regedit” in the search box.
– Select regedit from the results.

Windows 10 users:
– On the Taskbar there is a Search box, type “regedit” in it.
– Select regedit from the results.

4. Remove Dropbox from the Windows Registry

– Check for folders that have the name of Dropbox or its publisher under:

• HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\
• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\

– On the navigator, click Edit > Find…
– Enter “Dropbox” to check for other remaining files to delete.
