    Okay, so the option you're seeing is to permanently remove your access to the shared folder. It's not actually added onto your account.

     

    If you choose this option, it'll no longer appear there, and in order to access it again, you'll need to be invited to the folder.

Hi Ana0203, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

When you make a screenshot, it should be in your clipboard, so you can just paste it in your next reply.

 

Regarding the shared folder, are you able to leave the folder from this page?

 

This will help me to assist further!

@Jay thanks for your Reply.
Somehow i still cant paste the screenshot in.

But if i open the link you sent me, the three dots dont appear at the folder i want to delete.
There are three dots underneath tho, and it says „delete me“. But this doesnt seem to be connected to the folder
