I have deleted all files in alle folders, because I wanted tot cleanup mybdropbox complete. I noe see only the folders, but no way to delete these folders, how van I get them out of my Dropbox ,?

Hi Hanton, instead of that location, try clicking 'All files' above that folder, then selecting the folder on the right to get the option to delete the folder.

Hey Hanton, how are you feeling today?

Do you use the website or our app when trying to delete your folders?

Have you been following these steps?

Let me know, and we'll take it from there.

Hallo Megan, I followed the steps, nut I could not find the tab delete, for the files in the folder, no problem, nut for the folders, there is no "delete" under the "...".
I am using the web version, is it better tot user the app on a tablet ?

Hi Hanton, thanks for the speedy reply!

If you have issue with the website, you can always try the desktop app.

Also, can you send us a screenshot, of what you see on your end when trying to delete your folders, please?

That'll help us get a better visual!

Hey Hanton, sorry to jump in here.

A screenshot of what you see would definitely help us figure this out.

As long as you're replying here from a computer, once you click on the reply button, you will be able to see a button to attach a picture.
