How do I delete or remove Vault?

I created a Vault with a pin and am able to use it... I just don't want it. How can I remove it from my Dropbox? It's cluttering up my file list.

That is fine if you reach out to my email.

I have the same question. It seems odd to me that this isn't a simple How-To, rather than Dropbox having to give personalized support to simply remove an empty vault.

  Here’s why Dropbox won’t answer this on an open forum. I contacted support today (2 different times). It seems, you can CREATE a vault - but you can’t DELETE a vault. What a lame attempt to try to get more people using it. We’re stuck with it, for now.

    Can I please have my VAULT deleted as well?
    It's useless to me and I hate to have this pointless thing in my carefully crafted file structure.

Hi Jay,

I’d also like to get rid of the vault. Can you please help me?

Thanks,
Michael
