Remove myself from shared folder

Hi, I was recently added to a shared folder, which has taken my data over my plan limit.  I cannot see a way to remove the folders from my dropbox.   Please help!   Thanks   Buff

Mark,

 

Found that when searching initially.  Can't do either of those options.

1. Delete is greyed out

2. People have access doesn't show up

 

Any other thoughts?

      Hi again stevengallagher!

       

      If you remove your access to a shared folder, only another editing member of the owner of the folder can add you back.
