Deleted Shared Folder still showing in another users drive

Deleted Shared Folder still showing in another users drive

Ashley B.18

I've come across the following scenario. 

User 1 shares a folder with user 2

User 2 moves this share folder in to a private folder.

 

User 1 deletes this folder from his dropbox. It appears to still retain the permissions and still available in user 2s dropbox.

It still shows as user 1 being the owner. in users 2s dropbox. I had not prompt to unshare it before deleting. Is this how it should be?

 

Thanks

Is this how it should be?

Yes, by deleting the folder without un-sharing it first, you basically removed yourself from it and left it available for everyone else. To remove a shared folder from other users you need to either kick them out of it or un-share it.
