Hi Hanton, instead of that location, try clicking 'All files' above that folder, then selecting the folder on the right to get the option to delete the folder.

Hi Hanton,
You have to get out of the folder you want to remove and try to delete it while it's selected; you shouldn't get back into the same folder. Take a look on following screenshot:
Here folder 'Test' is equivalent of the one you want to delete. 😉
Hope this helps.

Desperately attempting to empty Dropbox of all content. Have spent about an hour so far. I've discovered this "folder" which appears to have no properties other than using 2.3 GB. I want to COMPLETELY REMOVE this folder and all its contents (I have already deleted the desktop app in the hopes of stopping sync.) Please explain how to do this.
I have screen shots but can't see how to attach them to this message.
The folder is called "downloads" - it has many items, none of which I want. It's in Backups/PC. I'm not linked to any devices.
Thank you.

The problem is this:
When you hover over the folder there is NO WAY to delete the folder. Dropbox can you please help us with this????? Add a delete function would be very helpful
