Dropbox account deleting

dropbox

I have used dropbox in my PC and also gave the id and password to my friend, who also used it. Now he has resigned from the company, so I had deleted the drop box account through web and uninstalled from my desktop.

But now, I could understand that all my files are still available in my friends dropbox account. What should I do to delete it completely

If you gave the other person your Dropbox user ID and password, then it should be enough to delete the account. Once the account is deleted, he won't be able to access it through the web or the desktop program. This assumes that he didn't download the files or install Dropbox on his computer. If he did, there's no way you can force the files to delete themselves.

If you actually share files from one Dropbox account to another (using Dropbox's share feature, not by sharing your account), then you have a little more control. This Dropbox Help Page says that you can remove the files completely when you remove a user from a shared folder. This still depends on him not copying the files to another place on his computer.
