How to delete google drive files

beautifulpeacock

I have an old Gmail account that I used to share Google Drive files with another person. They are no longer in my contact list, but I can still see their name next to the files in my "Shared with me" section of Google Drive. Is there any way to delete these files from my account, or do I just have to leave them there?

Yes, you can delete shared Google Drive files from an old Gmail account. To do this, go to your old Gmail account and open the Google Drive folder. Then, select the file you want to delete and click the trash can icon.

If you have files on Google Drive that you shared with someone and you no longer want to share those files, you can delete them from your account. To do this, go to drive.google.com and sign in with the account that you want to delete the files from. Then, click on the "My Drive" icon and find the files that you want to delete. Select the checkbox next to each file, click the "More" menu, and then click "Remove."
