Someone shared a phishing file with me and I can't delete it from my Dropbox account.

a phisher loaded a spam file on in my dropbox and the three dots are not giving me the option to delete the file. I can delete all my other files/folders.  Suggestions? Thanks!

Yes. There's no ability to delete or leave the file.

    Hi jeremyg1! Can you send me a full screenshot of the options you see when trying to remove that file from your Dropbox account?
