Accidentally moved a shared folder to another shared folder, how do I move it back?

Hi Somehow I did a drag and drop of one shared folder into a private folder.  How would I remove it ?

Hi from me too, Kulakat1! You can do this with the same steps Hannah linked above. 

 

If you want to move this folder to your root Dropbox folder, then upon selecting the end location, please click on "Dropbox". 

 

In case you're having any trouble along the way, feel free to send me a screenshot of what you see.

Thank for all the help!  I really appreciate that you guys take the time to help 🙂

I left it alone because I got busy, and then it hit me that I could access the folders in my Windows file explorer so I just went there and moved it!
