How can I remove some users from the list of external collaborators?
I can gave access to some "Joe Random" to a file he needed to download. Fine. All good.
4 years later, the file is deleted, and his name still comes up on my list of external collaborators. There is zero reason for any Rando's to be listed here. There are 91 of them. There should be like 4-5 of them. How can I get rid of these names that no longer need access to files?
Joe Rando and his 85 friends can go!

Thanks for your post, Marc S.7.
If you're part of a Dropbox team, can you check if these users have been added to your approved list of external collaborators? If they have, you can remove them this way.
If that’s not the case though, I’d like a screenshot of where they appear exactly as suggestions on your Dropbox account, so that I can take a look (please make sure to mask any other names or personal info that may be showing in your screenshot in that case).
Keep me posted for any updates.
From the Admin Console, under members, and then clicking the external collaborators tab, all of these people show up. 90 of them. These are old contact that I gave access to certain files on my dropbox when I was a personal account. I not longer want them there. I do not share files to them, many of the files no longer exist. I would just like to delete them all.
