Finished with Dropbox on your Mac? Want to uninstall it? Here's how to remove 
it from your computer.

Edit Steps 
  Part One: Removing the Software and Folders 
Find Dropbox on your Mac menu bar. Click on the Dropbox icon.
Quit Dropbox. Click on the Cog icon and then click "Quit Dropbox."
Locate Dropbox in your Applications folder. Delete it by either right-clicking 
and selecting "Move to Trash" or dragging it to your Trash Can.
Locate your Dropbox folder to delete it too, if desired. Either right-click on 
the folder and select "Move to Trash" or drag it to your Trash Can. 
Note that deleting the folder will also delete the contents. If these files are 
not saved in the cloud in your Dropbox account, you may want to copy them to 
another safe folder before deleting the Dropbox folder.

Remove Dropbox from your Sidebar, if necessary. If you'd like to do this, 
right-click on the Dropbox name and select "Remove from Sidebar."

  Part Two: Removing the Dropbox Contextual Menu 
Open your Finder. Click on "Go" and then "Go to Folder," or hold Shift, 
Command, and G.
Type in ~/Library and press "Go."
Delete the DropboxHelperTools file by moving it to the Trash. This will 
uninstall the Dropbox the contextual menu from your system (if you have it 
installed).

  Part Three: Removing the Dropbox Application Settings 
Open your Finder. Click on "Go" and then "Go to Folder," or hold Shift, 
Command, and G.
Type in ~/.dropbox and press "Go."
Select all the contents of the /.dropbox folder and move them to the Trash. 
This will remove your application settings for Dropbox.

  Part Four: Removing Dropbox from Your Finder Toolbar 
Open your Finder. Click on "View" and then "Customize Toolbar."
Locate the Dropbox icon in your current Toolbar set.
Click and hold the Dropbox icon. Drag it down into the customization area and 
release so that it disappears. Click Done.

Edit Tips 
Removing Dropbox from your computer will mean that your Dropbox account will no 
longer sync with the files on your computer.
Uninstalling Dropbox from your computer will not delete your Dropbox account or 
automatically delete the files from your hard drive (unless you delete them 
manually, as described above).

Edit Warnings 
Beware that deleting your Dropbox folder may result in a loss of the most 
recent version of the files contained in it, if they haven't been synced to 
your online Dropbox account or moved elsewhere on your computer before deletion.
