Let me know and we'll go from there.
Hi Hannah
The empty folder is definitely a Team folder. I know this because that's what it says it is when I look at the Type column in Dropbox.com. We are a team of two and the other person does not see the empty Team folder that I am seeing. As requested, here's a screenshot which shows the empty Team folder, namely the "MUSIC" folder.

If this team folder is owned by your team, you should be able to go to your Admin Console 'Content' tab and see the Music folder there. You can then archive and permanently delete the team folder. Are you able to do that?
When I go to the Content tab in the Admin console I don't see the "Graham ..." folder which is the Member folder which contains the empty "MUSIC" folder. Therefore, I'm unable to delete the "MUSIC" folder.
