How to delete a folder from Picture Library?

How to delete a folder from Picture Library?

It seems difficult to delete or rename a folder in picture library.  Explore view is working goofy.  It takes a long time to load and doesn't actually get rid of the folder even it asks for confirmation about the "removal".

What is the right way that works?

Look to the same upper right corner of your window and go to View: All Pictures: All Pictures: Details.

This will show you the folders in a list, and you're able to mouse over individual folders, a dropdown arrow appears on the right, click it, and within the list is the option to delete the folder.
