Getting a permissions error when trying to delete a shared folder

- Thanks for that, can you try unsharing the folder from this page:
https://www.dropbox.com/share
Click the ellipsis (...) and then 'Remove from Dropbox'. The folder will become grayed out on the site, and the folder should vanish from your computer.

Dropbox Community ModeratorThanks for posting your question here and welcome to the Forum P2!
Can you please let me know more information about the issue you are having? What exactly are you trying to achieve?
Does this issue persist on another browser other than the one you normally use ( such as Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Safari to name a few) ?
Bear in mind that a screenshot of the error/problem you are seeing is always helpful, so if possible, attach one in your reply so we can have a visual of what you described as well.
Thank you in advance for your response!
his happens everytime i run the setup, regardless of whether running from harddrive or usb stick. Dropbox login finishes and dropbox starts in system tray with the default Dropbox folder settings, but DropBoxPortableAHK is still waiting. Is it possible, that this may have something to do with two-step verification?

Hey karanzale - sorry to hear this.
As this software is not developed or maintained by us, we won't be able to help much; have you tried contacting them directly?
Also, from what I gather based on your description, the problem you're experiencing could be related with the level of access to the Windows Registry and you could try using the steps of the following Help center article in order to fix the issue:
https://help.dropbox.com/installs/access-windows-registry
Let me know what you find!
PS: Do you get the same error if you try to install normally from your computer's internal drive on a supported configuration?
