Shared files from a deleted account still appear in my Dropbox

My colleague has deleted their account, but 4 sizeable shared files still appear in my account, taking up space. Can anyone help? Many thanks!

    I think I have resolved it - I have managed to delete the files! Many thanks for your time.

Thats exactly it DebAg 🙂

 

A deleted account doesn't automatically delete the data from shared users. So its just a case of deleting them manually.
