Like he said, the ~/Public/Drop Box folder has nothing to do with the dropbox.com product.
Sorry, don't know a solution.
This might work, put it in terminal...
chflags hidden ~/Public/Drop Box
if that fails this should do it too...
chflags hidden /users/YOUrUSERNAME/Public/Drop Box
and hit enter,the folder will be there but hidden
put "nohidden" instead to bring it back

No solution, but just to clarify for those people that think its part of dropbox.com.
This is an OS X feature, see http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61234 http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=ServerAdmin/10.6/en/fse71dd335.html etc

Why do you want to delete it? It's used for network transfers if you don't want to give someone a username and password. It has no connection to the Dropbox application that many people use, and is a built-in OS X feature that is not designed to be disabled.

still no solution about deleting this drop box folder??? i dont want to hide it, and i dont need it at all... i tried to find all the plist files and change the strings but no luck... and i cant find anyone who could help me with that.. its so annoying that u cant do something like deleting a simple file/folder on a mac...
u cant hide the top bar or turn off the boot sound that simply that u just delete those annoying files... on a mac u need apps to do anything and just hope if it works...
