We should be able to completely remove an external collaborator from an account.

Should be able to completely remove an external collaborator from an account. I deleted the original files I had shared with external collaborators before renewing my Dropbox account and upgrading it...

Hi petalargie, thanks for messaging the Community.

 

Could you clarify what you mean by not being able to remove the external collaborators?

 

Do they still have access to your shared files, even though they were deleted? Are these shared links, or shared folders and files?

 

This will help me to assist further!
