"You have not joined this folder" on folders that I own

Hi. Some of my own shared folders read "You have not joined this folder" when I am the owner. Anybody any idea why this? Thank you.

No luck, same exact layout and button options on the Folders tab. Good idea though.

Hi usjdpdb, can you also try to click ''Join Folder'' , and then after that should be an ellipsis with ''Remove from Dropbox''. 

 

That should do the trick.

    I've done that a number of times as well and every time I delete the Folder it shows up back on the Shared page again.
