Unable to delete a Dropbox Backup

Unable to delete a Dropbox Backup

Navigated here:

https://www.dropbox.com/backup/all

I see the backup I want to delete; it shows "Unlinked".

I click the "Delete" button, click "continue" on the dialog, and it shows "Deleting "XX" backup from Dropbox" at the bottom for a minute or so, and then that goes away, but the backup remains.

Tried deleting it that way several times and it is still there.

 

Edit: after about 30 minutes from the first delete, it appears to finally be gone.
