Removing unwanted folder from my account

A folder has appeared in my uploaded list which I didn't put there. It's an mp3 music file that I downloaded into a music folder on my PC but a few days later I noticed it had appeared in my dropbox ...

    Okay, so this is most likely a shared file that you had access to, but no longer since the owner removed your access. 

     

    Currently, it won't be possible to remove it from the Recent's page manually at this time.

    That's a pity. I don't even know how it managed to end up in Dropbox. It was downloaded into a music folder which worked fine but a few days later I noticed it in my Dropbox list as well which I certainly didn't put there. It's a mystery. Thanks for trying anyway.
