No DELETE option for folders when clicking on 3 dots

I am trying to delete folders that are empty and very old. When I click on the 3 dots there is no DELETE option and I have no other way of deleting them. I am using the Dropbox web interface on a Mac. Any ideas / suggestions? 

Thanks in advance

    Have you tried another browser yet? Something other than Safari.
