Hi Experts, 
 
I use Dropbox to Sync files between a number of coworkers PCs. 
 
Yesterday I set up a new PC. 
 
I thought it would be a good idea to copy the Dropbox folder from one of the other PCs to the new one. 
 
That turned out to be a disaster. 
 
After installing Dropbox on the new PC, the number of subfolders in the Dropbox folder doubled. 
So I now have folders with names like: 
 
D:\Dropbox\Dropbox\Travel (Selective Sync Conflict) 
 
this folder has some of the files duplicated from this folder: 
 
D:\Dropbox\Dropbox\Travel 
 
My problem now is that I can delete this folder, D:\Dropbox\Dropbox\Travel (Selective Sync Conflict). 
 
But minutes later it reappears, presumably because it is on one or more other PCs. 
 
How can I delete the Selective Sync Conflict folders permanently? 
 
Regards, 
Leigh

Dropbox Selective Sync Conflict issue

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.

File sharing is the practice of distributing or providing access to digital media, such as computer programs, multimedia (audio, images and video), documents or electronic books. Common methods of storage, transmission and dispersion include manual sharing utilizing removable media, centralized servers on computer networks, World Wide Web-based hyperlinked documents, distributed peer-to-peer networking (P2P) and cloud-based file syncing.

File Sharing Software

A personal computer is a general-purpose computer whose size, capabilities and price make it useful for individuals, and is intended to be operated directly by an end-user with no intervening computer time-sharing models that allowed systems to be used by many people, usually at the same time. Personal computers may be connected to a local area network (LAN), either by a cable or a wireless connection, and through that to the Internet. A personal computer may be a laptop computer or a desktop computer running an operating system such as Windows, Linux or Macintosh OS.
