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.

Hi Megan
OK, "How to unshare" problems:
1 The folder would appear to be empty.
2 The folder is only within my Dropbox top-level folder
3 The folder does not contain inactive/deleted shared folders
"To unshare a folder" problem
There does not appear to be an "Unshare folder" option, or am I just being stupid?
I feel I am going round in circles. Any further guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks

Dropbox Community ModeratorHey weaselenterprises, thanks for the visual here!
Since you've made sure that this folder doesn't contain other shared folders and that it isn't inside another shared folder, it looks like the case here is that it contains inactive shared folders that you wouldn't be able to see.
Provided that the nested shared folders it once contained had you as the owner here's what you can do instead: you can select your folder, and delete it. Once that's done, you should be able to then permanently delete it.
That will remove the folder both from your Dropbox account, and from the members' accounts too.
