    Hey CraigBos, amazing question & thanks a lot for giving me the opportunity to expand a bit on the steps outlined here. 
     
    As a point of reference, you may keep in mind that any collaborator with edit permissions can archive Paper docs or folders. Archiving a doc or a folder removes it from Paper for all collaborators. Here are the steps to get going with that: 
     
    Sign in to your Dropbox Paper account> Hover over the folder you'd like to archive > Click the check box.> Click Archive.

     

    Once a folder is archived, then you can permanently delete it!
     
    Navigate to your Paper Folders. > Click Archived. > Click the folder you’d like to Delete Permanently. > On the screen that appears informing you that this has been archived, click permanently delete. > To confirm your choice, click Permanently delete.

     

     

    (Note: Remember that this action can’t be undone, so be sure that you’ve kept any important content prior to the deletion. In case you’d like to de-clutter your workspace, then you could merely Archive your folder, so as to keep it in case you’d like to use it again in the future or keep a record of older projects.)

     
    That’s it Craig, I hope that this is helpful to you & please do let me know here if you have any follow-up questions. Oh, & happy Friday!

Sorry to hear that HaBango M..

Have you tried re-installing or updating to the latest version of our mobile app to see if the delete button comes up again?

If it still doesn't show up, please forward me a screenshot so I can have a visual too.

Thanks!
