Re: Empty folder deletion?

Found this thread with no answer after the pointless search at dropbox help center.  Seemed like an easy question... How to delete an empty folder.  I clicked every link on the help -- what a waste of time.   

Through sheer frustration I began clicking everything on web interface page (using Firefox on Windows 7; not that it matters) A wasted hour later, dumb luck brought me to the fix below.

 

Make sure to UNCHECK the box at the left of the folder name.  That brings up the elipsis at the end of folder name.  LEFT CLICK on the elipsis and the menu opens.  Select Delete and confirm when asked.
