Hi StephenRice

I have the exact issue. It is a Team Site with an O365 group and the group that I am trying to remove access from is the Visitors group as the OP.

Hi VladV30,

I have a suspicion that the reason the group keeps showing up is that it's actually being inherited from the parent (instead of being directly on the item). Can you try going into the Advanced permissions page (link at the bottom of Manage Access), fully breaking inheritance on the item & then deleting the permission (note that this may not be easily reversible, so probably try it on content you don't care about first)? Not 100% sure if that will solve but that's my best suggestion at the moment 🙂

I'll try it but deletion of this group from other folders in the same tree worked as expected. Only this one behaves like this. Maybe it is because of it's large number of subfolders.
