Deleting OneDrive links

Sharing files in OneDrive and the ability to collaborate on files and folders is one of the great features of working in the cloud.

But what about if you share a link with a group of people and you want to have a time limit on the access to the link OR you want to remove access completely. Easy.


  1. If you are in File Explorer, right-click on the file or folder you shared and select "Share"
  2. Hit the ... in the top right to "Manage Access"
  3. Hit the ... again next to the link share and choose "More options"
  4. Hit the x next to the link 
Simple! This is a great way to share a folder to (for example) collect video files for an assignment but have a deadline after which access disappears. Or you can share a movie file for a day and remove access at the end of the day.
