Hi ! I would like if it's possible to remove a shared documents from my folder. I can't delete it because I am not the owner of the doc.

Hi all, good news! This is now officially supported. To remove a document from your Shared with me folder, simply open the More menu and select Leave document.

Hi Elisabeth,

Unfortunately, this isn’t currently supported in Lucid, but we’re very interested in your feedback and committed to continually improving our products. If you’re willing to share, we’d love to hear more details about your use case or what you’d like to see in this experience within this thread. I’ve also converted this post to an idea so that it’s visible to others within the Product Feedback section of the community - from here, they can upvote it and add details of their own.

Finally, for more information on how Lucid manages feedback via this community, take a look at this post:

Hello Clara

Is it still impossible? I will be more than glad to remove a bunch of documents that right now just garbage.

Thank you.

Hi Zoya

Thanks for following up on this thread! Unfortunately it is not possible for you to delete a document that was shared with you. If you are not the creator of the document and would like it deleted you will need to reach out to the person who created the document and ask them to delete it or remove you as a collaborator. I'm sorry for any inconvenience this causes.

There is any update about this request ? 
It will be a feature in the near future ? Because I can't reach the person who shared with me.

Hi Ronen! Unfortunately there is no timeline for when this feature may be implemented but you can still promote this idea to our development team by upvoting this post and adding any additional use case detail you’d like to share. Thanks for your request and apologies for any inconvenience this may cause you!

Hi I have the same issue as well. My personal account (free account) shared a file to my company account (paid account) and I deleted the file from my personal account but the file is still showing in the "shared with me" folder of my company account. I cannot recover the file from my personal account and remove my company account as the collaborator before deleting the file again because my personal account is a free account and it does not have the trash folder. Is there any way the Lucid Manager could help? Thanks.

Hi Johnathan 

Thanks for following up on this thread. It's unfortunately not possible to unshare a document once it has been deleted and is no longer available on the owner's account. Our apologies for the inconvenience.

Moving forward I would recommend unsharing any documents prior to deleting them to prevent this from happening again in the future. I would also recommend posting in our Product Feedback section. The more people who request this feature the more likely it is to be prioritized and built out. Thanks!

Hey everyone! I am also trying to remove myself from shared projects and am feeling frustrated. When will Lucid start working on it? Lots of requests for this feature.

Hi Krystal

Thanks for adding your voice to the thread. I understand it can be frustrating when some features take longer to implement. The best way to have an impact on the likelihood this feature request is prioritized is to upvote this request. Our product developers review ideas regularly and use them to help decide what to begin working on. 

Thank you for your time and understanding. Feel free to respond with any further questions.

I'm adding to the request box here.

Why can't we remove shared documents from our documents page?

Thanks.

Do we need to completely delete our account and recreate it from scratch if we want to remove all shared documents from the document list?
