Removing a shared folder from my account
How can I remove a folder that was shared with me? without asking the sharer to remove it for me. I wanted to increase my storage since it's almost full due to the shared files. hope someone can help...
- If you delete a folder inside the shared folder itself, then it would be deleted for all members of the shared folder.
The folder could then be recovered from the deleted files page within 30 days of the deletion.

You can delete the shared folder from your account by following these steps.
It's also possible to permanently remove your access to the folder if you wish.
Keep me updated with any progress!

Hi Jay, thank you for the reply.
If I temporarily remove/delete one folder within the shared folder, how can I return it? and will it affect other users that have access to the file?
The shared folder consists of different folders and there are 4 members in that.
