When you use File Explorer, you can quickly remove labels and protection from a single file, multiple files, or a folder. When you select a folder, all the files in that folder and any subfolders it has are automatically selected.
In File Explorer, select your file, multiple files, or a folder. Right-click, and select Classify and protect.
To remove a label: In the Classify and protect - Azure Information Protection dialog box, click Delete Label. If the label was configured to apply protection, that protection is automatically removed.
To remove custom protection from a single file: In the Classify and protect - Azure Information Protection dialog box, clear the Protect with custom permissions option.
To remove custom protection from multiple files: In the Classify and protect - Azure Information Protection dialog box, click Remove custom permissions.
Click Apply and wait for the Work finished message to see the results. Then click Close.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.
