How do I delete a shared folder when "You don’t have permission to manage membership of this folder"
Hey @FAL, thanks for posting your query today.
If you want to delete a folder that someone else shared with you, you can either temporarily delete it, or completely remove your access.
You'll find the steps on how to do so here.
Let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks, Hannah,
That does not work when "You don’t have permission to manage membership of this folder".
I asked the admin of the file to add me and then I can delete the file with those instructions.
It took a very long time to search for instructions and then they were not complete as to say "you have to have permission to manage".
A lot of emails back and forth to delete this file. So time-consuming.
