Hey there, CraigFitzHenry, welcome to our Community!
When you say that this document was already saved to your Dropbox account, do you mean before you receive the most recent email asking you to add it to your account?
Also, when you try to delete the file, do you get any specific errors on your end?
Let me know more, and we'll take it from there!

Hey CraigFitzHenry, is a file or a folder?
Would you be able to send me a full screenshot, showing the file and the options you get when you select it?
