I did. I am the only owner of this folder and there is nothing under the 3 dots.

No 👆 You didn't!!! Again, navigate to the folder that contains your "StoryAlbum" folder, not inside the folder you want to delete! In such a way you won't be able delete it (as already discussed previously) - read more careful.
PS: In your case the containing folder is the Dropbox folder, so just select it (i.e. one level up) and remove from there your "StoryAlbum".
- ncarter3 years agoNew member | Level 2That's what I'm saying the folder above that is a completely separate album. One that I need. These are all individual folders under all files.
So what am I doing wrong? - Megan3 years ago

Hi ncarter, let's jump right into this!
Based on the screenshot you provided, it looks like there's your "base" which is the root of your account, and in that root, you then have some folders including the "Story Album" folder.
You need to access the root of your account, and delete the folder from there.
You can do this by visiting your home page, selecting the folder, and the delete option should be right there.
