Happened to me a few days back. I quit, but was asked to leave pronto.
1. I've been using a password manager I purchased. That was the first thing I uninstalled.
2. Unlink DropBox. Delete the DropBox folder.
3. 4-years is a pretty long time. If I ended up using my work laptop for personal stuff (for instance a friend asks me to review their resume, scanned docs, pictures, rental applications etc.), I create a folder called personal that I can delete. Usually this would be under my DropBox folder anyway.
If I get walked out (i.e. I don't have access to my computer), I wouldn't know what to do. Ideally you would expect IT to wipe the hard disk and re-image the whole disk. I'm not sure it happens as often as it should.
