    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.

That'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?

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.
