I had a personnal account and started and account with my work instead. Shared document from personnal account with work account.

In work account opened shared document and "saved as" to create a copy of it.

On personnal account deleted the shared document.

Now back to work account still see the shared document and can't remove it.

 

How can I remove it ?

Hi, 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 Eric

Thanks for posting in the community and I apologize for the trouble you're running into with your deleted document.

I recommend locating the document in your personal account’s trash folder. From there open it and remove your work account as a collaborator.

Let me know if this solves the problem and if there’s anything else I can help with.

I have a very similar problem however I actually deleted my personal account. I cannot go back to that account to un-share the document.
It also seems very odd that documents still exist even though the account was deleted...

How can this be fixed?
