Is it possible to remove a cloud storage connection without removing the underlying files?
- You wont be deleting the sharepoint library or any files within it !! it’s just the sharepoint library tab that you will remove! So it’s alright :)

adam deltinger Following on from this conversation - I have linked a sharepoint library as an added cloud storage folder in my FILES list in a Teams channel. We are not talking about tabs here - sharepoint tabs to libraries can be deleted no problems.
The sharepoint link in FILES shows as a folder with a chain symbol. If I choose to DELETE the SHAREPOINT LIBRARY in FILES, is it going to delete the sharepoint library, files folders and all, or is it going to delete just the link to the sharepoint library.

hs-erinknight - Thanks! I was worried about exactly this and MS in its wisdom has still (2023) not updated the option to be Remove instead of Delete. At least there's an intermediary dialog that helps us make our decision.
I downloaded a backup of the drive before clicking Delete, since I didn't want to do something destructive. Clicking the first delete button makes it sound like it would delete the content:
The second delete button sounds more like the link:
I would like to click delete to remove the link; but mine gives me two "Delete" options and I'm not sure which to click!
The context menu also shows two "Delete"s:
- Its a link so you’re fine deleting it 🙂
