    Hi there JimGasperini, I'd be happy to help out with this!

    As you mentioned, you're trying to remove your access to a subfolder of the main folder that was shared with you right?

    Unfortunately, it's not possible to remove yourself just from a specific subfolder, you would need to remove your access to the whole folder. This is why you're not able to click the "Can edit" option to remove your access.

    What I could suggest is to have your access removed to the shared folder, and then ask the owner to only share with you only the subfolders that you need access to.

    I hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions!
