How do I delete or remove Vault?

I created a Vault with a pin and am able to use it... I just don't want it. How can I remove it from my Dropbox? It's cluttering up my file list.

        I have the same question. It seems odd to me that this isn't a simple How-To, rather than Dropbox having to give personalized support to simply remove an empty vault.
