Hi there 👋 I want to clear out my shared files page in Figma. I was given ownership of this file and I have duplicated it into my drafts but when I try to delete the shared file I get this message.

Thanks!

    Hi there!
    Indeed, if you use Leave via Share link, the file still remains in Shared files. But you can ask file owner to help you.

    The file can be deleted from Shared files if you follow this scheme:

    1. The owner of the file will set the setting using the Share button - Anyone - Can edit Then owner will resend the link to you.
    2. You need to follow the link. Then close the window with this link.
    3. Then, the owner of the file, using the Share button, Remove you from the list (a warning window should appear saying “account name” will immediately lose direct access to this file if you continue")
      4.Now you can see, that file has disappeared from Shared files file in your account

    This also won’t work if the Owner just Remove you from list. You need him to change the access settings again and send you the link in a new way.
