Can't Delete Mysterious Empty Folder

After solving a Dropbox connection problem, I noticed that my Dropbox contents include a heretofore unnoticed folder "Wheeler 1900." I have no idea as to its origin or relevance. Although it appears to be empty, I'd like to delete it. The (right-clicked) dropdown menu, however, doesn't give me that option. How can I get rid of it, please?

    Hey GeneZub, thanks for joining our Community!

     

    Are you seeing this folder only in your local Dropbox folder or are you able to see it in your account online as well?

     

    If so, are you able to delete it from there?

     

    Keep me posted.
