Hi Danny13
Basically it means that at some point it was a shared folder, but, either everybody has left it themselves, or, you have removed them but not yourself. So it is still technically a shared folder (others could rejoin if they left themselves) although at this moment in time you are the only member.
If you remove yourself from the share it will go back to being a 'normal' folder - BUT beware you will lose all version history of that folder if you do it.

Also note that on Folder Settings there is an option to "Unshare Folder" which automatically Unshare from everyone and there is an option to delete their copy also.
