Hi Yigit_Yuruker,
Are the "unique permissions" for the confidential folder still in place?
Did someone share the folder with the user?
I hope this helps.

Dear Norman Young
Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, Unique Permissions were in place. So, everything seemed normal. I've realized this mistake only by chance. You may see the permissions page attached. Do you have any idea, why this have happened? I need to fix this as soon as possible, we have started to use this site to store our confidential documents already.
Best Regards,

Yigit_Yuruker, was that image the from the site permissions or the folder? Need to check the folder permissions.
HI Yigit_Yuruker - one of the hidden options when sharing a library/folder - it's under the 'show more' where you also find the option to uncheck the box to send an email. By default, the box to 'share everything, even those with unique permissions' is checked. Seems very odd that this would both be hidden and be checked by default. Try removing the user altogether and adding back, unchecking that box. Let us know how it goes!
Dear Kelly_Edinger,
Thank you for your message. I am afraid that it was not the case, as we are agreed on not giving anyone Contribute rights! Also, I thought it should have shown her name on the Permissions screen but I don't even see her. So, actually, I don't even know how I can kick her out of this folder! I am very confused right now and checking all my folders for the same bug.
