    Hi @Grace Nelson,

    Thank you for posting in this community.

    You need to have a permission level above the Contribute permission level for this folder or have Delete permission to delete the folder.

    Please contact a user with the relevant permissions to delete the folder.

    Alternatively, you can contact the site administrator or a user with full control of the site to assign you a permission level with the deletion permission.
