Delete empty folder from deleted account
On my MacBook there is an empty «Drop Box» folder in my Public directory that is from an old and deleted Dropbox account. I would like to delete this folder as I have no use for it, but I cannot find any way to delete this, it seems to be locked somehow. Is there a way to delete it?
The link in my previous message gives you more details on the feature, which is primarily to share files between other users on the same machine.

Hi bflateland, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Are you referring to a folder that appears in Finder itself?
Could you be referring to the Mac OS feature known as Drop Box (note the space in the name), which is unrelated to our service Dropbox?
This will help me to assist further!
- It is called Drop Box, so it seems that it is unrelated to you! Thank you. Would you happen to know what this feature is? I cannot find any hits through searching for Drop Box MacOS trying to find out what it is.
