I am trying to delete an empty folder from MAC studio. I have all the permission set correctly. I get the following error message "The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items." What are the next steps?

Original Title: Folder will not delete
Mac Studio, macOS 15.3
What folder and where is it located..?
How and why are you trying to delete the folder..?
What information is shown when you select Get Info for this folder..?
Restart the Mac Studio and try again.
If that doesn't help, try while in Safe Mode.

Thanks for this, it worked as far as deleting the file from the Mac. I figured out that it's actually dropbox that was preventing the delete. So when it synchs with Mac, the unwanted folder comes right back. Now I have to figure out how to force delete the folder from Dropbox. All the permissions are there, but it wont let me. Anyway - its not a Mac issue anymore, thanks for your help.

Just ignore the Folder.
