title: Using the dropbox web interface to delete a folder with 30,000 files
body: <p>I have a folder in my dropbox with 30,000 files, that I can't delete using the web interface.  It appears that I have to download all 30,000 files in order to tell dropbox I really don't want them.</p>
  
  <p>This error arose because the machine that originally had the files is gone, and I was using selective sync to avoid downloading 30,000 files to all of my other computers.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone think of a clever way to work around this?  Just viewing the folder usually causes the web interface to crash.</p>
