Accidentally moved a shared folder to another shared folder, how do I move it back?

Hi

Somehow I did a drag and drop of one shared folder into a private folder. 

How would I remove it ?

    Hey Kulakat1, thanks for reaching out to the Dropbox Community.

     

    Have you tried following these steps on moving a file/folder to a different location?

     

    Did you have any issues moving it?

     

    Keep me posted.

      Thank you for your post Hannah. 

      Yes I found the info and tried but it didn't work the way I expected.   I ended up creating a new folder and moving the original out of my personal folder and into the new folder, so now it is a sub-folder but appears to still be shared which is what I needed.

      It would be ideal to restore the original folder on it's own instead of being a sub-folder, but hopefully this will work.

        So is it possible to just move it out of the new folder and have it be it's own folder again?
