Need Help Removing File from Figma Someone's Shared Tab

User A is the file owner and shared the file with User B. After User B viewed the file, it now appears in the “Recent” section under the “Shared” tab. Despite User B’s attempt to remove the file from the shared tab, Figma displays a message stating, “You have no permission to delete the file forever.” It’s worth noting that User “A” cannot see User “B” listed as a collaborator, yet the file remains visible in User B’s shared tab. How can User B remove the file from both the “Recent” and “Shared” tabs?

It seems like there might be a bug or an issue in the permissions system. Has anyone else experienced a similar situation?

Your insights and assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance!

Remove access by link and remove the user from the Share menu.
