Impossible to delete a file from shared links sections

Hello,

 

I recently clicked a link that leaded me to a potential virus file but when I want to delete from "shared links" section, it doesn't give me the possibility to remove it from my dropbox, it only gives me the option to save it on my dropbox.

I really want it gone from my screen.

 

Thanks

    Hey Frenaxo, welcome to the Dropbox Community.

     

    From the links page in your account, you can only delete links that were created by you.

     

    If you suspect that this Dropbox link contains files that are potential malware, you can forward the link itself to abuse@dropbox.com.

     

    The team will know what to do.

     

    Let me know if you have any more questions!
