Here you go. Should work. I just did it myself and I didn't own the folder. It worked perfectly.
1. Hit Sharing button
2. You will get a list of folders that are shared with you. Click on the share box beside the one you want to get rid of.3. You can't manage the folder but you will notice a box that states that you can edit this folder. Click on 'Can edit'.
4. Now you will notice 'Remove my access' in red. Click on it.
5. You will be asked if you want to keep a copy of the folder. I declined and the folder was deleted from dropbox.
Hope this helps.

Thank you for the explanation. However, I still don't know how to leave the entire share. I posted a screenshot which illustrates that I don't have that option. Can you clarify how I would leave that entire share, based on the screenshot?
Thanks again!
