Unshare a Folder
I want to share a folder, but can't do so, since I have shared subfolder, so I proceeded and unshared all the subfolders (by deleting all the other members of these subfolders) and I did the same wit...

I check and saw that even though, there is only one member for the subfolders (which were previously shared), they are still marked as shared folders, which is preventing me from sharing the main folder.
Removing all the members doesn't unshare a folder; it just remove the people from the share. The folder is still shared with you as the only member. You need to unshare the folder. Go into the settings for the share and there's a link to unshare it
I know this is an old thread, but the same thing happened to me, and I figured it out, so here is how you can fix this in case it helps others.
Move each sub-folder out of the parent folder, unshare the moved folder (unsharing will work now), then move the folder back into the parent folder.
