NikolinoDE&nbsp;This is not a helpful reply.&nbsp; There are no such options to "Remove" or "Remove from Shared List"I don't understand the purpose of your "AI assisted" reply if you have no experience in the matter and/or have not tested it yourself.&nbsp;

Still have this problem over here. Seems that noone wants to clean up lists as it is still no functionality made available by Microsoft.

VeronicaP1685&nbsp;The OneDrive web interface, while versatile and accessible, does have some limitations compared to other OneDrive platforms like the desktop app.I apologize for the confusion. The steps I provided were inaccurate based on the current OneDrive web interface. Unfortunately, the option to directly "remove" a file from this list is not available in OneDrive.Unfortunately, there isn't a native feature to completely remove shared files from the view if the owner doesn't revoke access or remove the share themselves.The OneDrive web interface is a convenient tool for accessing your files from anywhere without installing software. However, for users who need advanced features, offline access, real-time syncing, or more robust file management, the desktop app provide more possibilities.&nbsp;Use the Web Interface: When you need quick, easy access to your files from any device with an internet connection. It’s best for basic file management, sharing, and quick edits on the go.Use the Desktop App: When you need advanced file management, offline access, real-time syncing, integration with local apps, and enhanced security and performance. The desktop app is ideal for those who need a seamless experience between their local files and the cloud.&nbsp;Thank you for your patience and understanding

NikolinoDE&nbsp;&nbsp;I am no longer in contact with the individual(s) who shared files with me, and I am concerned about the files remaining in my 'Shared with Me' folder indefinitely. Could you please clarify whether it's possible to remove these files from my profile without affecting the owner's access or the original files themselves? My goal is simply to no longer have access to them. I would appreciate your assistance in resolving this issue.
