How to delete files in the Shared folder in OneDrive? The doc page below says there's a delete option in the bar or by rightclicking. They don't exist. There's an option to move files but no option to move to the Recycle bin.

    Hello my name is Michael and I am an independent advisor and an Office user as well. I might be able to lend a hand. Did you by chance follow the directions in that first link about removing files from the Shared folder?

    The bar has 3 options. Share, download and Move to. There's no Remove from shared list option.

    There is another way you can try.

    1. Click the folder to select it
    2. On the right side of the window click the exclamation mark with the circle to get more information about the folder
    3. Click manage access
    4. Click the down arrow next to Can Edit
    5. Select stop sharing
