| Can't Delete / Remove "Collections" (Folders) that Were Previously Shared with Me. | kossak | 12/21/11 6:47 PM | OK ... this issue is driving me crazy! I have a friend who previously "shared" a collection (file folder) with me and it is therefore visible in my list of Google Docs. No matter what I do I cannot delete / remove these collections. When I attempt |
| Re: Can't Delete / Remove "Collections" (Folders) that Were Previously Shared with Me. | dziegman | 12/21/11 7:04 PM | Hi kossak! Are you trying to delete the collection, the files within it, or both? Deleting the collection does not delete the files... Can you right click on the collection and click share... and the first option in the list that pops up to the |
| Re: Can't Delete / Remove "Collections" (Folders) that Were Previously Shared with Me. | Gill | 12/22/11 11:29 AM | If there are files within the collection I suggest you delete them first, or take them out of the collection. Once it is empty it should delete. |
| Re: Can't Delete / Remove "Collections" (Folders) that Were Previously Shared with Me. | kossak | 12/22/11 11:34 AM | All of the files inside the collection are gone and have been gone since last spring when the other user (who shared the collection initially with me) had deleted the same collection on her side. Therefore, what I've got on my side is a shared coll |

| Re: Can't Delete / Remove "Collections" (Folders) that Were Previously Shared with Me. | kossak | 12/22/11 2:15 PM | Gill's instructions basically came down to deleting the files inside first. The collection is empty and therefore no files to delete. Let me know what you think. Thanks and God bless! |
| Re: Can't Delete / Remove "Collections" (Folders) that Were Previously Shared with Me. | dziegman | 12/22/11 2:20 PM | Right, and then you delete the collection... Isn't that what you wanted! Happy Holidays! :) dziegman |
| Re: Can't Delete / Remove "Collections" (Folders) that Were Previously Shared with Me. | kossak | 12/22/11 3:13 PM | Collection is empty ... has been empty since spring ... no files are in the collection. I still cannot delete / remove the collection. |

| Re: Can't Delete / Remove "Collections" (Folders) that Were Previously Shared with Me. | JMarkman | 1/10/12 11:16 AM | My problem is similar but slightly different; I also can't delete old previously-shared collections, but on mine, the option to "Delete" or "Move to Trash" isn't even there. I also have no files or subfolders inside the collections, and I just want t |

| Re: Can't Delete / Remove "Collections" (Folders) that Were Previously Shared with Me. | S.Charles | 2/4/12 5:27 PM | Similar issue here.

| Re: Can't Delete / Remove "Collections" (Folders) that Were Previously Shared with Me. | S.Charles | 2/12/12 11:06 AM | I did a little further testing with my shared collections that would not delete and found out how to delete them The issue for me is, when files are shared the ownership never really changes regardless of the settings.In this discussion I point out h |

| Re: Can't Delete / Remove "Collections" (Folders) that Were Previously Shared with Me. | Rebecca | 3/15/12 12:58 PM | Hi Everyone, We have been investigating this particular deletion case (where you create a collection, transfer ownership, and then try to delete the collection.) The fix necessary for this will take at least a few weeks because it is rather complex. |
