Can't delete Dropbox folders; they reappear after deletion

I've tried to delete a few folders in my Dropbox, but every time I do they reappear shortly after I delete them. Shortly as in, I don't have time to go to the trash folder on my computer or the deleted files section on the Dropbox website to click and delete them.

I've followed all the suggested solutions and nothing works. 

I've checked the permissions; they are all labeled "Only Me." So I should be able to delete them...nope.

I've checked to see if it's still syncing; it is not. Many of the folders are from a range of 1 - 7 months ago.

I've deleted everything in the deleted files folder on the Dropbox site, but those folders are never in there to be able to delete because they restore immediately.

Tried to clear the cache, but the directions to use the command in the Finder on Mac did not work. A cache folder never appeared after I used Command + Shift + . (period).

Checked previous versions to see which device is restoring the file; it's my computer. I still tried deleting it from other computers as well as my own...nothing.

I tried contacting support, but it just gives me a chat box that links me back to the SAME articles I referenced for the previous steps. OR directs me to this Community Forum in which people are having the same issues as me.

According to a couple of replies from the Dropbox Team, they can't go in and delete files from their end either. It's absolutely ridiculous.

This is a newspaper and we use these folders (organized by date) to keep track of files for upcoming editions. I cannot delete, at this point 3 folders (up from 1 persistent one that I've been trying to delete for 7 MONTHS). It's getting cluttered and confusing in the Dropbox and it's becoming more of a hassle than anything. You never know when a file or folder is actually going to delete or not.

What is even the point of having an application that only works when you need to add something, but not delete? Might as well use the Google Drive at this point.
