Google Drive Can’t Remove Shared With Me
When you’re unable to remove yourself from a shared file, it means that the document is either open to all or only viewable or already in your bin folder. You need to check access permissions before you re-attempt the removal process.
It’s not uncommon to forget the ownership of a shared file or folder. If you’ve already removed the file, it can remain in the trash. Alternatively, when there’s no option to edit or if you aren’t added to the file, you may not have the option to remove yourself as well.
Final Thoughts
The advantage of using files on Google Drive is that you can grant or revoke permissions to files. When you remove yourself from a file, remember to double-check, or you may lose access and repent later.
