Hey AndreiBarta, sorry to jump in here.
Is the "TPA-Projects-dev" folder inside a team folder (a team folder would have an icon of a building on it)?
Or is it just a shared folder in the team?
From what I can understand from your screenshots, the folder has been shared at the "TPA-Projects-dev" level.
That means that the member you want to remove, will need to be removed from that level, so basically from the parent folder.
If this shared folder ("TPA-Projects-dev") is inside a team folder, you should be able to share the subfolders individually.
Can you try and let me know if it works?

Hello Hannah ,
Thank you for your answer, you were right, it was a shared folder, and now I have created a team folder and I was able to manage the access in the way I wanted.
