I have 2 Windows computers and 1 Android phone all signed up with my Dropbox account. I want to delete some old photos from my Dropbox account (I already have them manually copied to a different archive folder on my PC that isn't linked with Dropbox. ) When I delete them from the Dropbox folder with one computer, they aren't getting out of Dropbox folder on the other computer or the phone. I wind up with files that have names saying there was 'contention'.
Do I have to delete them from the web-interface to Dropbox?

Usually, if you delete a file from a Dropbox folder, it's synched over all devices under this account.. Been using Dropbox for something like 2 years on different devices both at work and at home and there have never been such a thing. Make sure that all the files are in the Dropbox folder.
