Hey catpainting136 - thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to our Community!

 

It sounds like you're looking at 3 different Dropbox folders with only 2 of them currently syncing. The one you renamed must be a local copy of your Dropbox folder at the point you renamed it. 

 

As for renaming your Dropbox folder, no, it's not currently possible to rename it.

 

At this point, I'd suggest copying or moving the files from all of the folders into the Dropbox folder that is syncing and let the desktop app sync your changes until it's up to date in your menu bar.

 

I hope this helps!
