Parallels 19 - Drop Box folder is now native on Windows machine (I don't want that)

I purchased Parallels last night in an attempt to run 1 windows based program, formerly ran on VMware. During the install I selected the prompted Mirror options, which duplicated the desktop between both machines.

The desire:
I use the MAC side 95% of the time, and want the desktop folders to remain native on the MAC side. There is 1, just 1, folder that I wish to share between both machines. I have set this folder up under Sharing/Share Mac / Share Custom Mac folder with Windows / Manage Folders.

Issue 1 of 2
On the Mac side there is now a 'Dropbox (Mac) - shortcut.lnk' folder. Each time I open that folder it automatically starts Windows 10. This is very annoying, especially when sending emails and trying to attach files on the Mac side.

Issue 2 of 2
I have gone to the Options / Sharing and deselected every share/mirror option, cycled power on all machines, and the dropbox link folder remains on the Mac desktop.





I just recently noticed Dropbox (the original file) is now located under 'Locations' under Mac Finder. With that recent discovery I just dragged it to the desktop which created a new, correctly working, desktop dropbox folder (on the mac side)


Question
Now that I've deselected mirroring and sharing, do I simply delete the folder on the Mac side named Dropbox (mac) - Shortcut.lnk?
