I see no option to delete my folders on the iOS mobile app

I want to completely delete folders- I don’t want to back them up. There is no delete option when you press the ellipsis. How can I delete them?

Not sure which bar you are referring to but nothing  allows me to navigate to the left or right.  I am not the owner of the files/folder- I just want it off my dropbox because it is no longer needed.  It is taking up space and I have no use for it- this is true of most of the things on my dropbox at present.

Alright, let’s try something else then. If possible, I want you to log into your Dropbox account via a web browser on your computer, and follow these steps to delete the folder on your end. Does that seem to help?
