I have had a large amount of files shared to my one drive account that I do not want and would like to be deleted. How can this be done?

Thank you, great. Via

Hide items from the OneDrive Shared list

The Shared view is not a separate folder - you cannot move items out of it into your Files view. If you no longer want or need access to a file or folder that's been shared with you, here's how to remove it.

  1. In the OneDrive website, from the left side navigation, select Shared.
  2. Select the file or folder you want to remove from the Shared list, then select Hide from SharedNote: You can only remove one file or folder at a time.

Note

When you remove an item from your Shared list, you still have permissions to it. You can return an item to your Shared list if you use its link again. Ask the item owner for the link if you can't find it.

    Hi,

    Do you mean that the files and folders are on the Shared Tab of Onedrive for web?

    I look forward to hearing from you to get the results of the troubleshooting.
