  I created some asset folders which are displayed in the backend and which I would like to remove. I manually removed the directory on the server. It is still shown in the backend. The options in the dropdown are all greyed-in and there is no "Remove" option.

  There should be a "Delete" option at the bottom of the element actions menu (i.e. the cogwheel at the bottom of the assets index), but it's only available for sub folders if only a single sub folder is selected.
  
  Sub folders can also be deleted by clicking into them, and selecting "Delete folder" from the breadcrumb disclosure menu:
