Remove files shared with me

Hello

In OneDrive web version, there's a file shared with me. However I do not need access to this file anymore.

How do I remove it?

    Agree. there needs to be a way to entirely remove a shared file rather than just hiding it. I have a shared file I don't want or need in my list. Nor do I want the owner of the file to see my information as a person who has access to it. It is both a security and privacy issue, in addition to just cluttering up my list of files (yes, I can "hide" from my shared files, but that does nothing to hide it from the list of all files). This needs to be fixed.

    Same here. I was able to remove (hide) it from Shared page, but it is still shown on the Home page. Very annoying.

    This is a big security concern isn't it?

    What if someone shares something nefarious with you? You'd be stuck with this file in your OneDrive.

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