Empty folder deletion?
How do you delete an empty folder via the Dropbox website? I've logged into the website and deleted all the files in the folder. However, I can't find any option to delete that folder. I don't believe the folder is being shared because if I hover over the folder with my mouse, I see the Share button. Why isn't this easier to do? This is a very basic function.
- The web interface is the same regardless of Operating System.

- I solved my problem. I just changed the names of the empty folders and was then able to delete them.
Found this thread with no answer after the pointless search at dropbox help center. Seemed like an easy question... How to delete an empty folder. I clicked every link on the help -- what a waste of time.
Through sheer frustration I began clicking everything on web interface page (using Firefox on Windows 7; not that it matters) A wasted hour later, dumb luck brought me to the fix below.
Make sure to UNCHECK the box at the left of the folder name. That brings up the elipsis at the end of folder name. LEFT CLICK on the elipsis and the menu opens. Select Delete and confirm when asked.
