Hi,

Could you please confirm if it's possible to remove all links or a bulk deletion of links associated with files (within a specific folder or site) that are currently accessible to "Anyone in the organization"?

If this is possible, could you kindly provide the steps or method for doing so?

    Per my research, it is not possible to remove all anyone links associated with files in a SharePoint Online document library.

    Currently, you could remove all shared links associated with files in a SharePoint Online document library through PNP PowerShell.

    #Define Parameters
    $SiteURL= "https://crescent.sharepoint.com/sites/IT"
    $ListName = "Documents"
        
    #Connect to PnP Online
    Connect-PnPOnline -Url $SiteURL -UseWebLogin
     
    #Get All items from List
    $Items = Get-PnPListItem -List $ListName -PageSize 2000
     
    #Iterate though each item in the list
    ForEach($Item in $Items) {
        #Get Shared links of the item
          $HasUniquePermissions = Get-PnPProperty -ClientObject $Item -Property "HasUniqueRoleAssignments"
            If($HasUniquePermissions) {
                $RoleAssignments = Get-PnPProperty -ClientObject $Item -Property RoleAssignments
                ForEach($RoleAssignment in $RoleAssignments) {
                    Get-PnPProperty -ClientObject $RoleAssignment -Property RoleDefinitionBindings, Member               
                    If($RoleAssignment.Member.Title -like "SharingLinks*") {
                        Remove-PnPGroup -Identity $RoleAssignment.Member.Title -Force
                        Write-host "Removed $($RoleAssignment.Member.Title) from $($Item.FieldValues.FileRef)"
                    }
                }
            }          
    }
