You can remove the share at www.dropbox.com/share but to get a shared link you need somebody who has access to the share to send you it

What happens if I remove files? Does it remove them for everyone?

If you delete the files within a Share yes, it would delete for everybody.
If you remove the share from your account (i.e. so you wont have access anymore) then no it doesnt.
