Remove the door by lifting it up and out of the bottom
pivot, swinging it away from the bottom bracket and then
pulling the top pivot out of it's bracket. 
Once the door is removed you can easily loosen the
adjusting screw and slide the bracket into the position
you want. If the doors don't meet, move the top and bottom
brackets toward center. If the doors press together too
hard and won't close at all, move the brackets away from
center. As for the door that is uneven and looks like it's
sagging towards center, move only the top bracket slightly
away from the center. 
Bi-fold doors have a liner down the inside to help hold
them closed where normal wear & tear can bend them. If
this is the case, gently bend them back into shape with a
pair of pliers.
