Cannot unshare folders
I am cleaning up my dropbox and I have a number of shared folders which I no longer require. In some cares I have removed all the members but they are still showing as shared (the people icon) in my shared list. I follow the instructions to unsure but no unsure option comes up. So if I delete them from my dropbox thy are still showing as shared folders that I haven't joined (even though only I "own " them and are taking up space.
How do I unsure and delete them?

Have you made sure they are unshared to everybody? Including you?
If so you may then need to:
- Find the share on the website
- Click on the three ...'s to the right
- Click on "Share" and "Share with Dropbox"
- On the new pop up click on the cog at the top right and then on the new popup "Unshare".
Give it time to replicate around and then you can delete safely 🙂
Thanks for your comment. This is not working. If I go to the Dropbox website into the Shared folders...these folders (there are a few of them) are still there. But the only member is me. The pop up does not happen.
