To remove access permissions for a shared folder, the owner of the shared folder can either delete the members or unshare the folder.
※ Note: If a member has already downloaded files from the shared folder or saved them to their own drive, removing the member or unsharing the folder will not delete the copies of the files that exist with that member.
