Folder icon doesn't reflect that folder is no longer shared
Hi
I have unshared a folder in my dropbox and I have made sure that all folders in the folder also is unshared. Nevertheless indicates the folder icon, that the folder is shared.
What can I do about that? Can I just leave it? Will it update "over time"?
I I have actually tried everything. Removed persons with access to the folder, been looking through help files. Then I googled the subject:
Unshare a folder- Log in to dropbox.com.
- Hover over the folder you'd like to unshare and click “…” (ellipsis).
- Click the share icon (rectangle with an up arrow).
- Click Share with Dropbox.
- Click the settings icon (gear icon).
- Click Unshare folder.
- Click Unshare.
But there is NO Unshare button or what so ever! Well I can't see it.

This is what it would look like after step 5, if the folder was shared. If you're not seeing this link to unshare the folder, then the folder isn't shared.
You can also confirm this by looking at the list of all of your shared folders on your Sharing page and seeing if the folder is listed.
