Deleted account but pictures still available through shared links

Hi.

Hi there, I had my pictures uploaded to the dropbox site by my photographer. Unfortunately my photographer has stated he has deleted his Dropbox account. However my pictures are still readily available for anybody to access.
I would like to withdraw all permissions for my photos to be stored on these dropbox link.
Can anyone advise me on how to
Proceed please?

    If he's deleted his account and the links are still working then they were not uploaded via his account. They are on somebody else's account. Once an account is deleted the files themselves are also deleted so all links etc. would fail and you'd get an error clicking on it. 

     

    The only way to have them taken down is by contacting whoever owns that link and getting them to stop the link.
