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.

"Should be able to" - what a joke. No. Why does this need to be so bloody complicated, and why on earth can we not just drag a folder out of the cesspit vault without the contents being deleted. Super user foucssed and quality experience, Dropbox. Not everyone is an engineer.

I may have missed this answer, but is anyone losing files? Since 'joining' the vault, my files are syncing one way---- and being deleted from my hardrive. This is frightening! help
