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.

Wow so much vitriol in this thread.  People need to chill, as frustrating as this issue has been there is no need to get nasty.  Leave that shiz with 2020 plz!

 

Anyway, I'm happy to report that the solution posted by Walter, which did not work for me the first time I tried but thanks to Daphne's post I tried again, actually worked!  The loathsome Vault folder is gone, just like that weird uncomfortable dream I had where I was quarantined to my home for most of the year and my kids couldn't go to school and... er wait, that's still happening.  Oh well, one small victory at least!

Please, no name-calling. It’s not loathsome, it’s a feature.
