I can't remove myself from a shared folder I joined

A folder I joined sometime back does not offer the option for me to remove myself. Unfortunately it causing my account to be over capacity.

Go to your Sharing page and click the ellipsis next to the folder in question. Do you see an option that says Remove from Dropbox?

It does not say anything as the drop down is not available in the permissions box.

  Is it a Team folder by any chance? If so the Team owner needs to remove you
