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.

Hi Walter

The support article you posted contains instructions that do not work: https://help.dropbox.com/files-folders/sort-preview/dropbox-vault 

It says I can delete the Vault like any other Dropbox folder as long as I have not set up Vault. I have not set up Vault and the folder/icon cannot be deleted like any normal folder via Finder on Mac.

Can we get an update please?

Thanks,

Patrick

Same problem here. Instructions don't work for me either.

    I've found that the ... is now showing for me. I have been able to remove Vault from my Dropbox as described above.
