How to delete a folder
One of my TB accounts has two archive folders, one named Archive and one named Archives. The Archive folder has nothing in it while the Archives folder has several years of messages in it. How can I delete the non-functional Archive folder?

In general, you can delete a folder by right clicking on it and choosing Delete. It will be treated according to your settings the same as if it was a message, i.e. moved to Bin/Trash, not deleted immediately, if those are your settings for deleting messages.
If this is being treated as a special folder by Thunderbird, you should make it a normal folder first, though. Do both folders have the same icon in Thunderbird?
Is this an IMAP account you access from other applications or devices? Apple Mail calls the folder Archive, whereas Thunderbird calls it Archives by default, although you may configure it to use any other folder you want for that purpose. Something like that could explain why you have both folders.
