Hi _igo, sorry to hear about that! 

 

I wanted to jump in here, and ask if you're still experiencing this issue, and if you'd like for us to have a closer look together.

I am having the same issue. I highlight a folder, I click on the three dots to the right, but I do not get an option to Delete. I am the sole owner of the account, I never shared the folder with anyone, and I created the folder. This is happening on all my folders. Count me frustrated.
