I've manually removed the app via dropbox.com yet my public dropbox items are still visible and downloadable.

This is really a problem since it wasn't made all that clear to me what I was authorizing in the first place

Public dropbox folders still operate on some security through obscurity. Previously you could access files but only if you had the link. Allowing these items to be indexed removes that security so it should be made extremely clear what's going on.

I'll implement removal functionality when I have time. In the meantime you can email the address on the contact page and I will happily remove the offending files from uberzet.
