    Hey Dubukongbizi - thanks for posting on our Community and happy Friday!

    You can start by taking a look at this help center article, and let us know if you have any follow up questions. More specifically, shared folders will be temporarily left based on ownership:

    1. Shared folders not owned by you will be removed from your directory without deleting contents.
    2. Shared folders you own will also be removed, allowing other users to maintain access.

    I hope this helps!
