No access -App folder deleted (Pending)
I have added an App access request using the link from the app and accepted it. I gave the access code to the app. In my account I see the "connected" app, but it says "No access - App folder del...

Dropbox Community ModeratorThanks for the additional information! I see from the 'response_type=code' that you're using the "code" flow, which means that the string you get back is an "authorization code", not an "access token". You need ot exchange the authorization code for an access token using /oauth2/token. (Alternatively, depending on your scenario, you may be able to switch to the "token" flow.)
You can find more information in the OAuth guide and authorization documentation.
I have ran exactly the following:
1. https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize/?client_id=6yd84s2nlfufy5t&response_type=code
The code is : <redacted>
2. The App device calls with the grant_type set to the above code.
curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/oauth2/token --data "{\"client_id\": \"6yd84s2nlfufy5t\",\"grant_type\": \"<redacted>\",\"client_secret\": \"<redacted>\"}"
and gets ::
{"error_description": "No auth function available for given request", "error": "invalid_request"}
What do I need to change ?

This is an OAuth endpoint, so it works a bit differently than the Dropbox API RPC, etc., endpoints. Here's an example of what that /oauth2/token call should look like:
curl https://api.dropbox.com/1/oauth2/token \ -d code=<authorization code> \ -d grant_type=authorization_code \ -u <app key>:<app secret>Fill in your values in the <...> placeholders.
I followed these steps including your last one
1. https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize/?client_id=6yd84s2nlfufy5t&response_type=code
Got the code from Accepting the App on the users account
2. curl https://api.dropbox.com/1/oauth2/token -d code=<redacted> -d grant_type=<redacted> -u 6yd84s2nlfufy5t:<redacted>
{"error_description": "\"grant_type\": got \"<redacted>\", expecting \"authorization_code\"", "error": "invalid_request"}

The "grant_type" parameter value should be the actual string "authorization_code", not the code itself. You put your code there again instead of the string "authorization_code". You should only supply the code itself once, as the "code" parameter value.
In the example in my previous comment, make sure you only replace the parts with the <...> placeholders.
That means it should look like this:
curl https://api.dropbox.com/1/oauth2/token \ -d code=Aa9Bb8Cc7Dd6Ee5Ff4Gg3 \ -d grant_type=authorization_code \ -u a1b2bc3:d4e5f6
