Bumping this in hope of a resolution.

 

I've dug deeper into this with my limited experience and from what I can tell my personal OneDrive seem to have unique permissions tied to the document library that are inherited.

 

However, when I try to delete the unique permissions sharepoint only redirects me to a error page as attached. (Translation: "Something went wrong. An unexpected error occured").

 

Is there a possibility to "reset" the permissions globally somewhere else? Or do you see any other solution to it?

 

EDIT: Added another screenshot (permissions.jpg) of the result of "Control permissions" for my personal OneDrive that might supply some insight.

    Hi Threetrees,

     

    Can you select a folder that is showing up as shared and check what shows up in the Manage Access experience? You can do this by selecting the folder, right clicking on it and then selecting "Manage Access". Thanks!

      HeyStephenRice and thanks for your response,

       

      I have trouble finding a matching option to "Manage access". Maybe because my windows is in swedish, but I really can't find an option that would translate correctly. I've attached a screenshot - is it any of these dialogue boxes you had in mind?

        Hi Threetrees,

         

        Ah, I'm sorry! I didn't realize you were looking at this in Windows. To get to this in Windows, you'd right click, select "Share" (with the OneDrive icon). There is a "..." menu in the upper right, select that and click the one option. 

         

        Thanks!
