1Password 4.5.3 - Dropbox vault is 'Secondary', can't remove 'primary' - how to fix?

Subject says it. I have a Dropbox vault which is working fine on multiple macs and on my iPad. On my iPhone, when I open 1Password, it frequently comes up with an older version of my data, which is the 'primary' vault on the phone. The Dropbox version is the 'Secondary.' How do I make that the default vault? Many thanks. Other posts on here I saw relating to primary/secondary issues were Mac-specific.

    Hi @jbzimmerman,

    do you have any important data in your primary vault or is that all data that you'd like to get rid off? If the data is important I'd advise you to make a backup of it first using Settings > Advanced > Create Backup. The backup will be available to download via iTunes.

    Once your backup is safely stored on your computer make sure that all data of your secondary vault is indeed synced with Dropbox. If all these prerequisites are met go ahead to Settings > Advanced > Erase Data and Settings. This will delete all 1Password data from your phone. After that you can set up 1Password again using your existing vault in Dropbox which will then be your primary vault.

    Thanks Winnie. I'll give that a try. My current 'primary' on that device is a subset (older version) of the actual Dropbox vault, so I can just nuke it.
