Unable to Remove Deleted File from Shared With Me
2019 Update. I may have found a solution - I too could not remove "Shared with Me" files and could not find them in OneDrive....turns out they WERE NOT in OneDrive. They were in Office.com - I think this is because these files are so old, there was no OneDrive at the time or the person that shared the files was only using Office.com - just my guess. If you log into Office.com using the same credentials as OneDrive, there is also a "Shared with Me" tab - I found all my old files there....Just click on the file to open it up online, on the right there is a drop-down. Choose Delete...I did this with all files and now my problem is gone.
Hope this helps anyone who is reading this!!!
