Unable to Remove Deleted File from Shared With Me
We ran into a scenario where Person-A shared a OneDrive for Business document with Person-B. Person-A then deleted the document and emptied their recycle bin. Person-B could still see the document listed under "Shared with me" via their own OneDrive, however they cannot remove that document from "Shared with me." Selecting the document from within "Shared with me" and clicking on "Remove from shared list", results in an error stating "Sorry, we weren't able to remove this item from your view."
Has anyone else experienced this? It seems that we could eventually end up with many orphaned links in users' "Shared with me" lists.

That doesn't sound good at all. I'll forward to the Shared With Me owner. Thanks!

We have a similar issue, "Shared with me" view is not updated after the sharing link was removed of the shared files.

We're having the same problem. It's so annoying and we're really hoping that MSFT solves this fast :/

Hi all,
I just wanted to drop back in and let you know that we're definitely aware of this issue (and the confusion that it causes) and are investigating. No timeframe to share just yet but stay tuned. Thanks!

Hi,
We are experiencing the same issue here, has a fix ever been released ?
I would have no issue running a bit of powershell if needed, but this has to be fixed.
We are in the process of evaluating a migration from Google Suite to the full O365 stack. Needless to say this has already removed a fair amount of confidence in OneDrive towards Google Drive.

We are experiencing the same issue here. User's permissions that have been removed can still see the originally shared content. Is there any update with regards to this?

Just came across a possible fix for this issue - Disabling: Limited-access user permission lockdown mode
This is in 'Site Settings' - 'Site Collection Features' and allows the sharing of individual folders within a site. In my instance it is a Document Site. I tested with this option disabled and I was able to share then remove permissions for a folder.
Hope this helps.
