Hey @bomberml, and welcome to our Community!
I've moved you under this thread, since your question seems to echo the one others had.
Dropbox keeps a hidden collection, or cache, of your files as backup storage. Files in the cache folder are stored there often after they are moved or deleted after syncing.
If you can't find your file using all other practical methods, you can try to recover the file from Dropbox cache as a last resort, hence why they remain there.
You should be able to clear your cache, by deleting content without losing any data.
Can you try this, and let me know how it goes?
Thanks!
