How can I remove external collaborators from my Dropbox team?

Seems like the MERGE option needs a little more clarity as to the results of the option.

I actually DELETED him and fortunately transferred all his files to myself as owner so I was able to give him access and he set up his original account and transferred them back.

As I said, I gave him access to my new site using a new email address to keep them separate. But now I am stuck with all these collaborators that I need to remove and apparently no way to remove them. I don't care if they have access to existing files or not. And regardless of how they got there, as admin of the site I should be able to remove them from my site.
