I was clearing out Dropbox when I moved away from it, and it _wouldn't_ let me delete my copy of `tex.web`, because it thought it was some sort of special dropbox file. (It was the source to TeX.)

That's too good. Did you have to rename the file to get Dropbox to delete it?

It's been a few years, but I think I managed to delete it in the web UI. (This was on macos, and they had a kernel extension keeping an eye on things by that point.)
