How many files is "regardless of how many files?" Have you tried deleting groups of files within the first folder first, and then deleting the folder?

Even a single pdf document will not delete, I get the same error. That being said, I was able to delete some folders that were previously giving me this error, but I'm still having issues with others.

kenz, you mentioned turning off the desktop app, so I understand this is happening locally on the Dropbox app and not the website, correct? 

Can you send me a full screenshot of the error you keep getting?
