    Folders always stay shared unless they are actively unshared - but, it is possible that somebody who has shared it previously has actually left the share without unsharing it. Hence you get the menu options you have. If you were owner you'd be allowed to unshare it, however, as you arent you can only remove from Dropbox - which basically takes it out of your Dropbox account and so takes the files out and gives you the space back. 

    If you want to keep any info from it copy / move those files to your account first and then 'remove from Dropbox'.
