Can't delete a file called vault.dbx-vault
This just appeared for no reason, and I cannot delete it. This is under the root folder.

That file is required by the Dropbox Vault feature and it cannot be deleted.
Thanks for the reply. Yes, I understand it's a feature. However, there are two vault files on my list. I want to delete one of them. The one that has the file name "vault.dbx-vault" cannot be opened or deleted.

You can't delete it. The file is required by Dropbox. Just ignore it.
While this can be ignored, this is something I would consider very user unfriendly and confusing. I just ran into this myself. If this can be technically changed, I would strongly vote for this to be adjusted in future Dropbox versions / updates. Besides even the Help Center entry regarding this is confusing.
I can't ignore as it always appear in the list. It destructs my brain. It's like an garbage in a clean room. Let us delete. Thank you.
Hey @kohirose, sorry to hear about this.
Could you please clarify your device's OS and if you've enabled hidden files to show on your computer perhaps?
Have you set up a Dropbox Vault in the past by the way?
