Is there a way that FS can delete these "empty" Legacy disputes? Or give us a way to do so??

Yes, there is a way to delete empty legacy disputes in FamilySearch. Users can now delete legacy disputes and the associated comments if the dispute no longer applies. To remove a legacy dispute and its comments, go to a person's details page, click on Discussions or scroll down to the Discussions section, click on Legacy Disputes, and then click on the appropriate Delete link. However, please note that when you delete a legacy dispute, it cannot be restored, so only delete the dispute if the information in the dispute is no longer needed [1].

I knew I could do that with Legacy disputes that had comments still but this instance refers to a blank Legacy dispute. The actual disputes are deleted but the screen shot I sent shows 0 disputes so there is nothing to open and no right hand side to get a delete button. An it matters since it still shows as 1 collaboration.

@Randall Jay Philpot That might have been true in 2014 (the date of the blogarticle), but it is no longer true nowadays anymore. It is not possible to delete legacy disputes since about one year (or so). This annoying problem isn't solved yet.

@KathyMiller1 Unfortunately, your screenshot didn't make it through. It's still an hourglass on blue background for me.

I know this has been a while since my original question but today I found an example of what I mean. There was probably a comment from old newFamilySearch that has been deleted but this is still existing under Collaboration and it doesn't help or provide any info.
