Hi Megan
DS Polly doesn't show on the Home page.
It does show in the shared Folders.
It does show on the deleted files page, and I have now deleted it permanently.
I hope that means it will no longer show up in other members Dropboxes.
Of course, I cannot verify that other than by asking about 50 people.
Thank you for your patience with all this.

Dropbox Community ModeratorHey weaselenterprises, let's jump right into this!
Keep in mind that owners of shared folders have the option to permanently delete a shared folder, or simply unshare it. Both of these actions have an effect on the people who have access to the shared content.
With that in mind, since you mentioned that the shared folder members still have access to the folder, is there any possibility that you simply removed the folder from your account?
If you haven't done so yet, go here, and see if the folder is listed there. In that case, you can follow Rich's suggestion to unshare the folder without leaving any copy to the affected members.
Let me know more, and we'll take it from there!
