No, sorry, that solution is the only way. Dropbox does not store outgoing emails, plus, the links could have been shared in other ways, say, via a direct email.
The only way to stop anybody having access to a link is to cancel it and create a new one.

I agree. I wish there were a simple ways to deactivate multiple files and folders for specific users, in one swoop, across the board, without having to create new folders or move files for the members who I WANT to continue sharing with, or having to go through my entire Dropbox and individually select and modify permissions on files/folders.
On a related note, I would also like to be able to clean up my entire Dropbox by deactivating all links to external users, in one bulk move, instead of having to go through (literally) 1000s of folders to remove access to the files. Anyone who needs access could simply request it again.
I hope you manage to offer these practical Admin functionalities soon!
