is synced ( I think)

You can stop this behaviour by doing this under "Can I stop syncing specific folders?":

 Thanks. I am getting into a real mess. I have ended up with the entire contents of my PC trying to be  uploaded to Dropbox. Aaaargh 

Is is possible just to delete my account and create a new one starting from scratch.
