Hey all,
Just wanted to follow up here and provide some additional context. The "Pending Shared Folders" section is only supposed to show Shared Folders that another user invited you to, not Shared Folders that you are the owner of but have "deleted" and could add back later.
This is why an error message is being shown: You cannot remove your membership on a folder that you own, the only options are to unshare the folder entirely, or transfer ownership to another person and then remove your membership.
We identified the problem causing folders that you own to appear in that section, and a code fix is in progress to only show actual Pending Shared Folder invites. This should hopefully land within the next few business days.
Until then, a workaround would be to hide the "Pending Shared Folders" section, or if you want to truly remove a shared folder for good, you can go to http://www.dropbox.com/share, find the folder in question and unshare the folder from there. This will add an unshared copy of the folder contents to your Dropbox account, and if there are other members of the shared folder you'll have the option to allow them to keep a copy as well.
I hope this helps! I'll loop back once the fix for this has been pushed.
