Office 365 groups Shared with us functionality

I think it's an awesome feature, but if a file is unshared or even deleted it still shows in the list and gives an access denied when it's click on. Is this a common problem? I tried reindexing both libraries... i'll reply if it suddenly goes away due to a background job or something.

    Just a follow up, the next day the items that I deleted and un-shared were gone. I've read something similar from another post.

      Sure thing,

       

      1. I upload a file to a normal team site -> right click file -> share -> typed in Office 365 Group -> Share "can edit"

      2.On my Office 365 SharePoint page ->Documents -> Shared with us -> the recently shared file appears and a memeber of the group (who did not originally have access to the file) can open and edit it.

      3.Going back to the original file location -> right click file -> Advanced -> Shared With -> Stop Sharing

      4.The office 365 group user can still see the doc in the Shared with us library, but recieves a access denied page when clicking on it.

       

      Also, the files I shared early have been deleted and both links still show, but the user recieves a 404 error when clicking on them.

       

      Let me know if you need any additional info!
