Need to delete the Desktop Folder Dropbox duped

Try changing the dropbox folder in the dropbox application settings; set it to a new, third, and most importantly non-special location. By non-special, I mean not protected by Windows: no Program Files* or Users, just a spare location. After it moves all the files, check the first two, and delete them both if necessary (and possible). After that, use the same procedure to move it back to where you want it, apparently Users\Sockthepuppet\My Documents.

Can you define or suggest a location "not protected by Windows"? I'm at a lost as what that means or how to figure it out, isn't everything protected by Windows in my User folder, in some way?

Easiest thing is to create a folder in the root of your C:, C:\Fix (or something), and put it in that folder. Don't try to put the Dropbox directly in the root of C:\.

Edit: I'm actually not sure now whether my advice is helpful, since you seem to have somehow cloned your desktop folder rather than moved it to a new location. Actually, this worked, as once I clicked on the Location Properties for the Desktop Folder, it said it was being stored in the Dropbox Folder. I clicked "Choose Default" and it copied everything to the the default location (User>Desktop) and I was able to delete the old folder from Desktop. Easiest thing is to create a folder in the root of your C:, C:\Fix (or something), and put it in that folder. Don't try to put the Dropbox directly in the root of C:\. So go to the C drive, make a folder and then assign the Dropbox folder to folder I just created?

So go to the C drive, make a folder and then assign the Dropbox folder to folder I just created? Yes. It'll probably create it as a subfolder, i.e. c:\Fix\Dropbox -- that's what I had in mind. Windows these days is picky, for good reason, about installers adding to the root folder.
