Okay, so the option you're seeing is to permanently remove your access to the shared folder. It's not actually added onto your account.

I see! Thank you so much.
I still get the notification that my storage is full, even tho the other folders are like 1 GB and not 2 GB. Do i have to keep deleting old data from the folder i've just deleted? Or do i have to wait a bit for it to synchronize again?
